Photography is an occasional activity for some and an undying passion for others. From the classical black-and-white photos of times past to the high-res and colorful images available today, the field has seen significant advancements. Photos elegantly capture our most precious moments and are representative of times gone by—something we look back on for years to come.
The question regarding what and who makes a good photo is an important one. There are so many different factors involved in photos and to an extent both, the “man” and the “technology” play a part in getting the perfect photo.
Below we will examine some factors that influence the photos you love!
Sometimes we look better in person
The camera is not always flattering and many times fails to capture our features promptly. Here, it may not be the person in question who’s at fault, but rather the camera. It’s important to use angles that correctly identify the features of people and make them look as they are in real life.
The camera lens can greatly distort people’s faces. Moreover, some argue that people look more attractive in motion than still. When in motion, we can notice people’s expressions and tender smiles more and someone who’s just making a serious face, for instance, can come off as rather angry in pictures.
The art of perfect lighting
The perfect shade of lighting is essential for a good picture. If it’s nighttime and the sunshine is virtually unavailable to you, the flash in your camera is your savior. Moreover, sometimes the lighting around you is too dull and your pictures come out so as well; the right click of a flash does the trick and brightens up in your photos! This is when the camera takes the trophy for the perfect photo. However, it is important to adjust the flash to have the picture illuminate moderately, as nobody wants to be overpowered by the light.
Camera shyness
You may say it’s the photographer’s duty to help you relax but them telling you to do so doesn’t always help until they take measures to put it into action.
That being said, the person behind the camera equally plays an important role too. Confidence is key and it has to come from within.
