Weekly Photography Tip

One of the most important tips I can offer when taking a photo is to check the perimeters and the background before pressing the shutter button.

Most of us just look at the subject and our human eye tunes out the background. But for some reason, our eye can pick out the weird thing in the background once the image has been captured.

Look past the subject and look for these things when capturing your next shot:

• bright colored objects like a bright red toy or a neon orange micro-fiber cloth (yeah, that second one is my nemesis!)
• an open door exposing a messy room
• an object that doesn’t make sense in the scene

If you are shooting a tutorial, some of your images might seem ‘messy’ but the background can relate to the story of a workshop or craft room where you are completing the project. Then when you shoot the finished project, you can stage the piece with a lovely background.

This upholstery footstool is a great example.

These are just a few ideas to encourage you to check your background before taking the shot!

Now, let the party begin!
