The Edge

Usually, images are placed within the frame, but by placing images against the edge of the frame you can create powerful graphic design images. Try using different types of image for various effects.

Over Under Sideways Downlighting

Downlighting is not normally very attractive on models. But in this case the model is looking in a mirror and the downlight has no affect on the features of the model except to provide general lighting. Try using mirrors and light from different angles to create dramatic effects in your graphic design photography.

Depth of Field

Depth of field in photographs allows a blurry background and a crisp focus on the main object.

Up Close - You Beauty

Get up close to see the beauty in all things. If you take pics with the highest possible resolution on your camera you can create a myriad of opportunities with just one image by cropping and resizing different aspects of the photo. This technique is easy and enables you to make strong and beautiful images for your graphic designs whether they are intended for newsletters or cards or websites.

Focus on Blur

Photographs do not have to be in focus to be captivating. You can take out of focus pics or blur images to create mood and movement. Don't be afraid to experiment. Try things that are out of the ordinary and you will discover the beauty in all things, including your own mind.

Take Beautiful Photographs Easily

The rule of thirds makes it easy to place figures and other important objects in a photograph. Mentally divide the frame into thirds vertically and horizontally. Place key elements in the third sections for impact and interest. This will improve your photography enormously and get people to take notice of the way you see the world. This photo uses the third on the left and the third on lower portion of the frame. The fact that there is almost nothing in the rest of the pic adds to the interest.
