Rule of thirds<\/strong><br>This is one of the first principles people normally learn about photography. It\u2019s a simple and consistent way of getting good framing. This entails imagining a 3&#215;3 grid over the frame and positioning the subject of the photo on the top left\/right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1180926781.jpg?fit=755%2C504&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1180926781.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1180926781-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1180926781-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1180926781-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1180926781-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Studio headshot on white background.

Exposure<\/strong><br>Knowing how the combinations&nbsp;Aperture\/shutter speed\/ISO&nbsp;affect the final shot is incredibly empowering. If you want to achieve motion blur or more depth of field,&nbsp;then you can easily do so. Once you learn those combinations and effects that they create, get to know your camera and learn what buttons and dials help you achieve the look you want for your photo.<br>Check out this brilliant tutorial to learn these camera basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"responsive-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CAMERA BASICS!\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ixRKeQMa7Nc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Camera basics tutorial.

Use your phone<\/strong><br>This is something I\u2019m very guilty of&#8230;It&#8217;s easy to get discouraged by the limited kit that you have access to and use that as an excuse not to go out and take photos. The cameras on our phones&nbsp;are super impressive nowadays, both for photo and video capabilities so let\u2019s go out&nbsp;and&nbsp;shoot!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2119\" height=\"1414\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1058837752.jpg?fit=755%2C504&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1058837752.jpg 2119w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1058837752-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1058837752-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1058837752-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1058837752-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2119px) 100vw, 2119px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Woman taking a photo on her phone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Take different shot sizes<\/strong><br>Whether you are covering an event or getting photos of a person who has been interviewed, it\u2019s always good practice to take different shot sizes. Having a variety of long, medium and close up shots from a couple of different angles gives you more options in terms of how you use the images that you take. You might be able to use them for more purposes than you first thought and tell a better and more complete story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Prepare your location<\/strong><br>Whenever you are taking a photo, rather than merely focusing on the subject,&nbsp;it is good practice to have a look at the space around it.<br>Tidy up and move out of shot things like drink bottles, cables, etc. This will make a massive difference to the final photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Make the most of&nbsp;the depth of&nbsp;a space<\/strong><br>Having the subject with their back to quite a big space can be&nbsp;aesthetically&nbsp;pleasing. It allows you to use perspective and the natural lines present in the frame to really focus the viewer\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"7952\" height=\"5304\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1142434706.jpg?fit=755%2C504&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1142434706.jpg 7952w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1142434706-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1142434706-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1142434706-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2020\/01\/iStock-1142434706-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 7952px) 100vw, 7952px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Portrait of a young adult man in the city<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Use natural light<\/strong><br>Pay attention to where the light is coming from and get the subject to face the source of natural light.&nbsp;Unless you have lights, it would be tough to get good exposure on the subject if the main source of light is behind them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8. Using the foreground<\/strong><br>Use what\u2019s around you to frame the subject of your photo, whether it\u2019s a building or person.&nbsp;Having something out of focus in the foreground and to one side, like a tree branch or&nbsp;a wall or even someone&#8217;s shoulder, can help the viewer focus on the subject.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9. Negative space<\/strong><br>This is the space around the subject and it\u2019s another unique technique. It makes the subject \u201cpop\u201d and gives a different feel to your photos.<br>This video from Mango Street explains different ways you can use this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"responsive-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Minimalist Photography Tutorial (Using Negative Space)\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gnDbX02zmfk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Video tutorial on how to use negative space in photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10. Break the rules<\/strong><br>Once you\u2019ve mastered the basics,&nbsp;try different things.&nbsp;Sometimes giving yourself a new set of rules, like using one prime lens for a whole photography session for example, can be liberating and it can help you look at the space around you in a totally different way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s all for now!
