Think that you have it in you to click the photo of the year?

Photographers all over the world have searched high and low to get the secret ingredient required to click a beautiful picture. All photographers try their best to make every shot truly remarkable and capture something out of the ordinary.

Getting a great picture does not depend on a single trait; there are combinations of factors that play a role in getting the right picture. The art of photography uses the right mix of various factors, with each contributing to create a visual treat for the eyes.

Without further delay, let’s study some important features that make ordinary visuals look great.

Composition and light

Rather than placing your visual right in the middle, you should move to the right or left and place it on the sides of the frame. Ensure that the lighting is spread evenly across the subject. Remember, good lighting is not too dark or too bright, but it is the even distribution which makes the light worth remembering.

Foreground and Perspective

An interesting foreground is like bait that gives the viewer something that catches the eye. We have come across numerous images that could be great, had the photographer kept an interesting foreground.

A shot that is a few inches from the ground or is placed above the subject gives the picture a perspective. This is where your creativity is put to the test, so get your cameras and start working out the different angles.

Processing

A little processing and subtle editing are not bad for a picture. The editing work and the use of software are often visible in great photos. However, the beauty of the photograph and the striking imagery makes the viewer ignore the aspects of its creation.

Symmetry

The axis and the geometry play a crucial role in the beauty of a picture. The use of symmetry can play tricks on the brain of the viewer. Students of architecture use their experience and study to get perfectly symmetrical photos with great ease.

Human Condition

Usually, candid shots captured at the moment are better than portrait style pictures. The audience finds it much more interesting to look at someone who is living the moment rather than responding to the camera. An excellent candid shot allows the viewer to glance into the world of the subject and admire them for who they are.

Avoid clutter

A common mistake that new entrants to the world of photography make is that they end up creating too many distractions around the image. It is your job to cut the clutter and ensure that there are no bright spots, or garbage cans to destroy the quality of your image.

Timing

Last but not least, a good photographer nails the timing of the photograph. Expert photographers from around the world usually take months or weeks to plan for the right moment to capture the picture.
