People using cameras are the best people to capture great photos.

How do you want people to feel when they look at the photos? When taking portrait photos, what part of the person’s personality are you trying to capture? This will help you to organize your photos.

Photography at a Low Key
Low key photography is a great technique for photography. It is simply one light shining in a dark space. It is all about lighting and elimination. This technique can be used to create stunning images.
Two rooms could be used – one block light from the room, the other use light from the adjoining rooms.
Keep the background black or dark grey and keep any light from reaching the camera.
Streetlights can also be used at night as a light source.
Try low-key photography with your children! You’ll be the star of the show! One common technique is to draw a symbol or circle on the floor that you already calculated is provide the right amount of illumination. Ask your child to examine it and then give him a focal point. (The marking can be photo-shopped later).
It’s worth the effort to create great photos. Your friends will be impressed when you show them your excellent collection of images.
