Photography Tips & Tricks: Get Closer.

To effectively capture your subject, getting to know them and understanding their story is essential.

Avoid taking portraits or group shots from a distance where you can barely see people's expressions.

Instead, immerse yourself in the moment.

"Getting closer" also means learning about your subject. Get to know them and understand their story; this knowledge will help you frame and shoot in a way that captures their essence, forging a deeper connection with your audience.

Utilize depth of field to blur distracting backgrounds or compose your shot in a way that eliminates them altogether. Instead of just photographing people standing still, capture them in motion. This approach injects energy into your work, drawing your audience in and making them feel like an integral part of the scene.
