Proven Photography Tips and Techniques

Teresa Pocock writes, "Try to find a 'simple' background for your subject. One that is uncluttered and unobtrusive. This can be particularly important for portrait and group photographs. You don't want to have a distracting background for a lovely soft portrait, or have the classic light pole 'growing' out of someone's head! Move the subject/s into a position that will minimize the background. Remember having the subject further from the background will also lessen its effect."          Full Article
