The good news is that you don’t have to be an artist or come from a creative background to be able to take impressive pictures. It’s hardly rocket science, and there really is no mystery to it. Anyone can develop an “eye” for photography.
You don't need to own an expensive camera either. Students on my photography courses often ask whether it is a must to have an expensive camera. I have to tell them that the camera is the least important component in taking a good picture. To make the point, I show them lots of good pictures that I have taken with the camera on my cell phone.
Becoming a photographer requires practice and patience, and the first step is to understand the five elements that photographers all over the world use when taking “Good Pictures."
The five basic steps to taking good pictures
I teach that there are five basic elements that all good pictures have in common. To help you remember them I have arranged the first letter of each to spell the word BASIC:
JPOST VIDEOS THAT MIGHT INTEREST YOU:
ADVERTISING
Backgrounds – Good pictures have appropriate backgrounds
Awareness – How shapes, textures, perspectives, etc, create effective compositions
Story – Good Pictures tell a story - they communicate
Imagination – Photographers imagine how the picture will look before taking it
Critique – Being able to instantly spot what works or doesn’t work in a picture
