Mistakes New Photographers Make

The biggest mistake that novices make photography is that they always have the subject in the center. You don’t always have to have the subject in the middle. It’s a good idea to test different angle so you comfortable with different shots. You can take pictures with the subject on the left or the right. You could even have them at the top or bottom.

Another thing to remember is that when ever you don’t use the center you can have other issues. What happens is when you do not center some new photographers may not give enough room on the side of the picture that the subject is pointing. Try leaving space when on the side that the person in the picture is facing. If you do not the picture may look wrong or have the feel of being closed in.

You also want to pay attention to the the background of the photo. Make sure the background does not look too cluttered. If you need to, find a different background or shallow depth to make a better photo. Make sure the subject does not blend in with the background. Find a background that is a different color than the subject. If they are both the same is can make the photo look confusing.
