Steps to Making A Perfect Picture9
Step 1: Decide a Theme
A good photograph might appear random but that’s far from accurate. Choose a central idea that runs through the pictures you’ll take.
Step 2: Narrow Down the Theme
Question yourself about the chosen theme, its importance and the message you wish to convey.
Step 3: Decide a Subject
A subject in the photograph tells you a story. It helps the photographer connect with viewers on a visual level.
Step 4: Explore the Possibilities
Take a few pictures and analyse them to see what’s working and what’s not. The right connection between the theme and subject makes a photograph stand out.
Step 5: Visualize the Photograph
Visualize the potential photograph by arranging elements in a manner suitable to you. Decide the perspective (frame) from which you are shooting and practice before taking the actual picture.
Step 6: Get Down & Dirty
As a photographer be prepared for surprise delays, unearthly shooting schedules and disapproval from people who don’t appreciate the art.
Step 7: Wait for the Right Moment
Hone your observation skills and wait endlessly to capture the right moment. Adjust the camera settings and attempt a unique frame to get a great shot.
Step 8: Edit & Arrange
The real work begins after the click. Some editing is required to find the images that are just perfect.
Let go of pictures :
❖ With a shaky subject
❖ With a lack of focus
❖ Which are either too dark or too light
Step 8: Edit & Arrange
What next?
Find the photographs that fit your theme and arrange them
in a manner to convey a STORY.
