A year ago we started posting photo tips on our photo Facebook Page<\/a>.
\nThat became popular enough that we created PrimePhotoTips.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Facebook page gets tips first but there’s no way to easily search archived tips.
\nPrimePhotoTips lags a few days behind but you can search for all tips on portraits.<\/p>\n

Please like our Facebook page<\/a> (ahem, someone got a free three-month online program for liking the page last month, just saying) and check PrimePhotoTips<\/a> regularly to keep inspired to shoot.<\/p>\n

Here are some recent tips:<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #230<\/a>
\n<\/strong> Do things differently.
\n<\/em>Most people take photos of trees from the outside. Try going inside the tree’s canopy – everything changes perspective.<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #229<\/strong><\/a>
\nLearn from your child’s perspective.
\nGive them your camera\/iPhone etc. – they produce some beautiful (and perhaps unusual from-an-adult perspective) photos.
\nWe can learn so much from them…<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #228<\/strong><\/a>
\nDedicated to all of our photo students<\/a>:
\n“With time, small steps will take you a long way!”

Photo Tip #227<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Ask yourself “What is this portrait about?”
\n\u2022 Physical appearance?
\n\u2022 Their soul & passion?
\n\u2022 What they represent?
\nThen, reflect and shoot.
\nThis thought process can take days or more.
\nBut it’ll help you produce better portraits!<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #224<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Choose what you are exposing for.
\n\u2022 Don’t let the camera do it for you!
\n\u2022 Different light levels can have a huge impact on your photos depending on whether you expose for the sunny or shady areas…
\nA simple shot of backlit towels on a clothes line can produce some magic if YOU control the light settings properly.<\/p>\n
