Each of us wants to be the best on his domain. As a photographer, you also have to put a lot of work for reaching top standards. The portfolio has to be rich and to inspire professionalism. To make this happen, you have to know some little tricks. The most important is the light; it is preferably that the photos will be made in natural light. Other key tips are: the shades, the location, the camera but also the angle. I will do a short description of each key point to help you to improve your skills and become a better photographer than you are now. I don`t want to bore you, this is why I will keep short sentences and a lot of bullets. So, let`s begin.
- The light
- Amazing photos can be made with natural light, but also artificial light, it all depends on how professional you are
- Natural light is preferred because it offers way more advantages than the artificial one
- You don`t need special equipment to use it
- You don`t have to spend money to have it, so it will be a great opportunity if you are a beginner
- It offers you incredible colors that can`t be reproduced in the studio
- highlights the features of the face and embellishes them
- photos in nature will give people the sense of freedom compared to a photo studio
- The shades
- Creates a great contrast
- Emphasizes colors
- Can be natural or made by you to accentuate the beauty of the subject
- Can offer glow if it is used properly
- The location
- You can choose a place that you think is not worth it, but obtain great pictures, so don`t be harsh in excluding them
- The nature offers you great views, spend some time in analyzing the environment
- Be careful with the high contrasts you can get in nature, in direct light
- Be careful on the composition you will get, don`t let the landscape be a greater part of the photo than the subjects
- Choose the perfect time( day or night) to get the exact photo that you already have in mind
- Think about the privacy you need to provide, it is not pleasant to be interrupted again and again by people who will make your subject feel uncomfortable
- Share the idea of the place with the subject; they need to be dressed properly
- Choose an accessible place, not all people can afford a plane to fly there
- Check if you need permission to take photos in that place
- The camera
- Compact/point-and-shoot
- Affordable
- Easy to use

- The autofocus works fast
- Usually the perfect choice if you want to catch the best sports moments
- The battery resists longer then the other`s
- They come only in big sizes which will make them heavy
- The angle
- Take more photos while trying more angles, this will help you to observe the composition better, in order to get a great picture
- Choose the perfect height, usually the best one is at the same level as the person, pet, child you want to photograph.
- Try to make more photos while you get closer to the subject, in this way you will get even the smaller details
- Choose the thing you want to focus on, is it the small child or the big mountain behind him?
