Making Memories: Photography Information For All Skill 
Levels 
For corporate video production and product photography pricing try Luke Ayers 
Photography can be one of the hardest art forms to master as it requires both natural ability coupled 
with a lot of hard work. This means that you have to be willing to take classes, try new things, and 
educate yourself in order take pictures that you can really be proud of. 
corporate video 
Stand close to your subjects to take better pictures. Getting up close gives you a better conceptual 
focus, and blots out background distractions. It also has added benefit of capturing facial 
expressions which can add a whole new element to the picture. Tiny details can be missed if the 
subject is far away. 
Try using a variety of shutter speeds to determine the best methods for different settings and 
circumstances. You can capture both a fleeting image or a long time-lapse photograph. When 
photographing objects in motion, use a fast shutter speed. Slower shutter speeds are ideal for 
photographing landscapes and still life. 
Some good advice is to be sure to actively search out other photographers, and look at their work for 
inspiration. When you spend time looking at other photographers' work, you will be able to see many 
different ways to capture an image. 
When choosing which of your photos to show others, choose the ones of which you are the most 
proud. Do not display all of your pictures or too many on one topic. Those viewing your photos are 
sure to quickly bore from seeing the same subject repeatedly. Keep things unique by trying out 
different types of shots. 
Photography must be enjoyable. Photography will help you remember a certain time or event that 
was important and that you may want to share with others. Always have fun taking pictures, and 
remain enthusiastic to learn new skills. 
Just like a military sniper, once you have your picture ready and in focus, you should pause to hold in 
a breath and steady yourself before taking the shot. Even the smallest movement could make your 
picture come out wrong. Take a second right before you are going to hit the shutter button, don't 
breath and take a straight shot. 
If you want to experience old-fashioned film photography, try going to a second-hand store to find a 
film camera. For an even more dramatic effect, ISO rated 200 black and white film offers a great 
nostalgic quality. You can have your photography printed on several types of paper to see which 
makes the most dramatic impact. 
Take your photos as quickly. The ideal moment to capture an image usually doesn't last for long, so 
make sure you're always prepared to shoot. You can easily lose the attention of your subjects if you 
delay the shot, and the perfect moment is then lost forever. It is more important to get a decent 
picture than to waste the opportunity trying for the perfect shot or camera setting.
Frame all of your photographic shots. Not a picture frame, of course, but one that occurs naturally 
within the shot. Use the natural elements in the area to create a framing effect around your subject. 
This is a wonderful way to practice composing photographs. 
Use manual white balance when taking your pictures. This gives you a greater amount of control 
over your photographs, allowing you to alter the mood. You may have to experiment a bit when 
you're first learning how to manually adjust the white balance, but you'll soon see how inventive and 
resourceful you can be with your photography when using this technique. 
Keep your subject in focus when you want to take great pictures. Keep that camera focused to 
ensure you maintain good composition in your photos. Centering your primary subject in the field of 
view is a safe bet, especially while you are still learning the photographic ropes. Leave the 
background and the framing to sort themselves out for the time being. 
When you are ready to take a photo, you should first figure out if you need/want to expose the 
shadows or highlight of your subject. However, it's possible to take two pictures of your subject, one 
exposing each, and use a program such as Photoshop to blend the two pictures into one perfect 
photograph. 
As you have seen, you can improve your photography and have a successful reputation that many 
other fields do not offer. A picture is more than just ;point, then click. It is about capturing the art 
already present in the world around you and forever immortalizing it.
