1. Watch Your Background – Make sure that in the picture, your background items won’t interract negatively with your subject. You don’t want a tree branch sprouting from Uncle Harry’s head!
2. Watch for Shadows – Slight shadows can be more pronounced in the picture. Make sure your subjects don’t have strong shadows against features you want to capture.
3. Get on their Level – Especially for children and animals, take the moment to kneel down in order to take a straight on picture. You’ll not only capture their expressions better but also give them a more inviting feel.
4. Get Close-ups – Eliminate the background by bringing your subject closer. Make it the only focus of your picture and highlight its beauty.
5. Use Flash Outdoors – This can help eliminate shadows on the faces of your subject in high sunlight. Can also brighten them in contrast to the background.
