A picture is a memory, something that makes you laugh, remember the good times you had growing up that’s why when you take pictures you should make sure everything is right so you can have picture perfect photos. So I’ll give you a little advice to having great pictures.

Children is are future whether any one believe it or not there every where magazines, television and banners there little faces capture the world attention so when photographing children you should always try and have fun basically rediscover your own inner child it will help the child have fun smile feel be comfortable. Also another benefit of continuous shooting is that you can end up with great series of shots that might go nicely together with a story for special occasions. Getting on your hands and knees or crouching down before you can take a shot of a child help you engage with them. These are some things you can think about when taking pictures of children.

A big deal when taking any photo you have to make sure the background is right just right first thing first always check your shots before taking a shot look for colors that don’t fit with the rest of the image that might distract the eye, lines that clash or people who don’t belong because they will totally mess everything up make a beautiful picture go bad. If you move you’re subject to take a step back things either by putting the distraction behind them or putting it out of frame.  Having a good background bring out good features and can get you great complements so always have a nice clear background.

My last bit of advice is the rules of third the basic principal behind the rules of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down in thirds. As your taking an image you would have done this in your mind through viewfinder. The rule of third helps balance and keep the photo interesting, which is important because with out balance and interest a viewer will not be able to interact with the photo.

In conclusion taking pictures are fun and you can have a great career in taking photos but you have to love it enjoy it be the best work hard in dedicate yourself to it so that you have people amazed in awe in wanting you to take there so I hope I was able to give you little tips on having great pictures.
