4 Proven Ways To Take Amazing Photos


There is a sea of professional photographers on the internet and there’s also a population of inexperienced photographers that would just point and capture. If you belong to the former, then you already know how to take nice photos either using your phone camera or your DSLR. Now if you categorize yourself as the latter, then this article is for you.

As a content creator, you need to know at least the basics of how to capture appealing photos so your audience would want more of your content. Taking a photo is not simple, from choosing the right subject to locating a well-lit space, it takes a lot of factors to consider a certain photo a great one.

In addition, learning these basic ways not only leads to new opportunities but as a content creator, the more professional-looking your photos are, the more appealing your creator profile will be.

Now let’s try to determine some vital aspects of taking a great photo so you can apply it for your next photo session.

1. Learn the Essentials of Composition

Pick the Best Focal Point

If you have no idea what a focal point is, it’s the main point of interest in a photo. It could be anything from a building, a vast ocean, to a bird. Locating a strong principal focus is one of the essential steps of how to create professional photos. When you determine what the center of attention will be, you can try to adjust and make it as solid as it can be. The information below will guide you in taking that amazing photo that anyone would want.

Rule of Thirds

In photography, the rule of thirds is very important because you can make a more interesting composition using this instead of just positioning the attention at the center. The rule of thirds is when you place the most important elements in your photo off-center.

It’s like a tic tac toe on your screen, there are two lines dividing the frame into thirds vertically, and two more lines dividing it into thirds horizontally. Place the subject along these grid and other vital elements in your shot. It’s one of the simplest steps in learning professional photography. In this way, you can find a better balance between the main subject and its background.

2. Good Lighting

Nothing beats good lighting in a photo, it’s something that people always overlook. You have to ensure that your subject is visible and has enough light. If there’s none or the lighting is poor, your camera will wrestle to capture the details in the shot.

If your camera is on automatic settings, it will utilize a high ISO setting and you’ll end up with a grainy/blurry photo. Even if you enhance it using Photoshop, you’ll find it difficult and may take massive adjustments which will result in a low-quality image.

On the contrary, if the shot has too much light, it can also ruin the photo with unwanted shadows. So you really have to assess the location and which angle you will shoot to ensure good lighting.

3. Use Lighting Equipment

We can’t always depend on natural light when taking photos. If you want a good photo session for your next content, then you must consider spending time to plan out the lighting and use a range of lighting equipment.

Furthermore, you can use a light reflector. There are affordable light reflectors that come with reversible covers made from different types of reflective materials. One other light source is your camera’s flash. If the light may be too harsh for you, you can invest in an external flash. It will let you aim the light rather than have it point straight to your subject.

4. Edit Photos Like A Pro

Since we have hip technology, editing photos must be up in your arsenal too. Photoshop is our bestie when it comes to professional photo editing. Every image you post must have touch-ups, may it be adjusting the brightness, color corrections, or adding your personal preset. There are a lot of tutorials online that you can browse. If you don’t have access to Photoshop, there’s a ton of free alternatives that you can choose from.
