How to take better photos of your children this summer – Tip #3
The last two tips explained how to find the best light and the right background for your photos, and this week I’m going to tell you all about composition and how to frame your children within the image to have the most impact. I could write tons about this subject but I promise I’ll keep it nice and simple!
There are no real rights or wrongs when it comes to composition as it’s completely subjective, but there are some tips to bear in mind which will make a huge difference to your photos.
Many people believe that everything should be centred in the frame. Now there is nothing wrong with this but it can result in quite dull, un-inspiring images! You may well have heard of the rule of thirds but aren’t sure how to apply it when your taking photos. Well, it’s very simple.
Imagine breaking an image down into thirds (both horizontally and vertically) so that you have 9 parts.
