Basic skills of taking photos Mastering these skills will help you take better photos.

Don't be afraid to occupy all the space in the photo. If you want to shoot a person or an event, try to let him/it occupy the whole picture and exclude the background that has nothing to do with the subject. Eliminate irrelevant elements in the picture and make the theme more attractive.

Step 2 study shapes

This is an important aspect of photography. Know all kinds of shapes and forms in your works. Don't just treat an object as a normal object, but analyze its shape and shape to find the best shooting angle to reflect its shape. In life, there are various shapes around us. I strongly recommend you to read more books about shapes. Here, I recommend the book Photographic Composition by American writers Ben clements and David Rosenfeld. The Chinese version, published by Great Wall Publishing House, is a classic textbook, which may be difficult to find at present.

3. Pay attention to the movement in the picture

If you are shooting a still life, you should generally avoid the motion of the objects in the picture. If some objects move in the picture when you try to shoot a still object, the result will not be very good. Also note that in most cases, you need to avoid putting a horizontal line in the middle of the picture, which will make the picture look boring.

Step 4 use contrasting colors

Many good photos have perfect contrast and excess of white, gray and black. Only one color can make a good photo, but if there are contrasting colors in a photo at the same time, it will add a lot of color to your photo.

5, close to the theme

This is the biggest mistake that many photographers often make: not close enough to the subject. Being close to someone can bridge the gap between you and him. In post-processing, you can re-adjust the shape and size of the photo, but you can't enlarge the distant objects in the photo.
