You may need to use the flash on your camera when you’re in a pinch! Check the link for tips to make the light look as natural as possible!
If you’ve got an external flash, it’s time to learn to use it! It can come in very handy in low-light situations!
What is candid photography? Well, it’s a bit like being a spy! You’ll need to take pictures on the sly to capture those authentic expressions you’re looking for.
A picture is worth a thousand words? You bet! Maybe more! Take thoughtful, rich photos that have the ability to strike emotion in your viewers.
Pattern photography is some of the most artistic photography you can take. Finding a good pattern and then capturing the perfect angle to accentuate it is fun!
I think most the great photographers thrive on high-contrast photography. These photos pop out and say, “LOOK AT ME!”
This type of photo is much more subdued than your high-contrast photo, but if done effectively, it can really set the mood!
We live in a world of color, so naturally, we must learn how to make the colors look good in our photos! So, using the color wheel and some good old-fashioned simplicity, we’ll get some pictures with great color contrast!
What do you get when you mix a camera (with a tripod), a dark room, and some light sticks? Light Painting! This is one of the most fun photography assignments I’ve ever done!
