So,as I was going through my notebook I saw this piece I pened down two years ago...yeah 2 years.

Can't recall where I learnt it from to be specific,but I'm glad I saved it somewhere,hope it helps someone out there.

7 powerful photography tips

Increase ur knowledge on this aspect and you'll be a great photographer...

Fill the frame with what you like

...learn framing, shot sizes etc. Your subject is always the most important element in your pix, send your audience eyes to it.

Simplify and Exaggerate

Learn editing so you can tweak your images.. Eg adding burn and dodge, the levels etc.
A good photographer is as good as his/her editing skills.

Don't centre your objects

Perspective is everything

Take pictures from different angles... Don't show us things we are used to with our eye level.. Go high, go low.. Get creative.

Finally
Lighting is key
Learn how lights affects emotion on a picture...learn sunlight photography and artificial light photography.

So that's it, I hope it helps... Don't wait to get a DSLR use your phone and instead of taking pictures of yourself in a mirror over and over again, I mean its your face no one will steal it.
Get creative, snap flowers, insects, objects etc.

Happy learning guys
