Photography notes
Giving a photograph a clear subject
Name the subject
Before taking a picture, describe its main subject in a few words. If the description includes several unrelated things, try changing your position or choosing a tighter frame.
Look at the edges
Check what enters and leaves the frame. A slight step to one side can separate overlapping shapes and give the subject more space.
Edit with intention
When reviewing pictures, choose the image that communicates your original idea most clearly. Keep another version if it suggests a different story. Comparing alternatives is a useful part of learning.
