From Flat to Fabulous Photo’s

So many of my friends who ask how I take such fabulous photo’s on a whim with my iphone when I’m out at playgroup.

Here is two photo’s taken practically at the same time.

Which do you prefer? Do you know why you prefer the second one. I do.

(Like all good things in life you need to work out what’s wrong before you can fix it.)

What’s wrong with the following photo’s?

Hover over each one to find out.

Flashes cause harsh unflattering light. No one looks good like this.

The exposure is wrong. The sky is beautiful exposed but the subject is too dark.

When taking photos of people, especially kids try taking the photo at their head height first.

When taking a portrait. Get closer to your subject, pay attention to the finer details.

Parent takes a photo from their perspective rather than the most flattering and better composition.

Hopefully this has helped you realise that I to have taken my fair share of bad photo’s too. We all have to start somewhere.
