How to make a beautiful photo

What emotions do we experience when we look at a good photo? Of course surprise, joy, enjoyment of beauty, curiosity, calmness or on the contrary stress. List all the feelings and sensations for a long time. But it is necessary to note one thing in common that they all have in common – the absence of indifference. A good photo leaves no one indifferent. It delicately touches the heartstrings and makes you stop your gaze on it, immersing your imagination into the frame, creating the effect of presence. Maybe you will remember it, while a bad one will vanish from your memory after a couple of seconds. Quality attracts like a magnet, and it’s an axiom. So what does it take to make a beautiful photo?

Very often in modern colloquial speech we hear the word “photo”. Yes, of course it is firmly embedded in everyday life, but if you look at it deeper, you’ll see that behind this set of letters is its own attitude. Taking a picture and making a photograph are similar but at the same time absolutely different in their message, which are later transformed into a final product. One’s attitude to the process of making a shot in many ways predetermines the final result.

We will try to understand what is the basis of a good frame, what “ingredients” are necessary so that your friends looking at the result will say “wow”. I basically do not want to go into the technical aspects of photography, although it will be difficult without them. But we will try to grasp the message, which is aimed at creativity, at creation, at the mood, at forming our own taste in photography. In my opinion, this is the right base and foundation on which it makes sense to start building your photographic skill.

It doesn’t matter what you’re shooting with, a phone, a basic point-and-shoot or a huge black SLR camera. In today’s world, everyone pushes the button. The only difference is that some people get a picture, while others get a set of files on electronic media.

If you look closely at your own behavior in relation to the camera (no matter what form it is, in the phone or in the body of the SLR camera, in the future we will refer to just “camera”) then you can notice a certain pattern of behavior and even algorithms of action.

When a person sees something that according to his own evaluation criteria makes his eyes stop for a second, he immediately tries to take it off. A sunset, a child in the grass, fireworks, his own food, and so can go on ad infinitum.
