1. Make Use Of Natural Elements

When you are posing just mom in the photos, making use of natural elements is such a great way to include a unique background, natural light and the beautiful colors of nature. Find a rustic barn to use as a great backdrop, or a colorful field of wildflowers. Using the flare of the sun in some of the photos can also give a unique perspective. 

2. Use A Prop

Using props is a great way to make the session a little more romantic or give it that special touch. One way that this guide discusses is using a quilt and having the mom-to-be or her and her spouse laying together on the blanket makes for such a romantic yet sweet photo. It makes it very fitting for the mood of the session. 

A great tip would be to ask the couple you are photographing if they have a special blanket or quilt that is special to them that they would like to use.... that will make the photos even more meaningful.

Take Your Travel Photography To The Next Level With These 12 Tips

Who doesn't love to travel? There are so many amazing places around the world to see and explore and taking great photos of those places is a great way to capture the memories and things you have seen. Whether you like to explore places in your own state, or you frequently travel around the world, you want your photos to be amazing and showcase the amazing things you go. We found a great article on Huffington Post on 12 ways to take your travel photography to the next level that we wanted to show you and hope it will help you with your own photos. 

Here are 12 tips to take your travel photography to the next level. 

1. Don't worry over your equipment. 

The equipment you have does not make the photo. The photographer makes the photos. Do not think that just because you do not have the most expensive camera that you can not take the best photos. Go out with the camera and equipment that you already have and learn how it can perform at its best.

2. Research the destination. 

Before you travel somewhere when you are hoping to get some great photography, you have to do your research. Make sure you know when is the best time of year to go, what you should be sure to see while you are there and how to get from one place to another. You also want to make sure you know what some of the best photo opportunities are like a popular festival, beautiful body of water or local architecture. 

3. Look behind the monument everyone sees.

Look at your surroundings and take everything in. Do not try to obsess over taking that "postcard" photo of a specific popular spot. Find the hidden treasures and you will see those treasures captured in great photography. 

4. Study natural light carefully.

Make sure you learn that there are different types of light and your photos will depend on that light. This also means that you have the chance to pick the type of light that you want to take the photo. It is important to study the light that is available at the scene. Perhaps another time of day may be better than the moment you are in with the light that is available.

5. Don't ignore artificial light. 

Do not ignore artificial light sources because if you do, you may never see how much you can achieve with them. Examples of artificial light could include a campfire or even a street light on a walkway. Play with shadows, look for contrasts and do not forget reflections. 

6. Play around with composition. 

Do not forget that an image can work to convey and emotion or a mood, as well as capturing a memory. Do not let the novelty and the excitement of the exotic destination or amazing place make you forget how to frame and compose your photos. 

Photo credit: Sandra Vallaure

7. Remember that good photos are not the products of luck.

You may think that some photographers have such wonderful luck when they are taking a photo; that they just happened to be in the right place at the right time. That really is rarely the case. Make sure you get a rough idea of what you want to photograph ahead of time and prepare. Look for locations, familiarize yourself with the location and do your research. 

8. Interact with your subject. 

Taking photos of strangers can be challenging and many people will shy away from interacting with people they do not know. Interacting with your possible subject can really help you get a very powerful photo of that person. When you interact with someone you are capturing in a photo, that interaction is normally evident in the photos. You may see a trust and openness that the subject looks at you and the camera. 

9. Get close. 

This is a common mistake with many photographer's travel photos. Does your subject look too small in your photos? You have to get close if it is needed for the type of photo you are taking. 

Photo credit: Sandra Vallaure

10. Try your best to be original. 

There have been thousands of photos taken of most famous monuments and popular places. Taking a photo that thousands have taken before is challenging to make original, but you can make it happen. A great way to do so is to pay attention to details that others may not have. 

11. Take lots of photos. 

You can never take too many photos. With one scene, explore different angles and points of view and with different lenses. It is always best to take more photos than you need; you never know when that one perfect photo will turn up! 

12. Don't be afraid of separating from the group. 

When you are in a destination where many people travel, or in a city that has tons of people taking photos of all the same things, it can be hard to look for unique opportunities. Make it a point to step away from the group and look for a more original angle that others have overlooked.

3 Tips To Remember When Taking Newborn Photos

What is not to love about taking some cute photos of adorable newborns? Everyone loves a sweet baby and we all know how quick babies grow up so capturing them as a newborn for their families to remember always is so special. 

When you are taking newborn photos, there are so many things you need to remember and you have to be flexible because you never know when a newborn will get hungry, start crying or just not cooperate like you had hoped. The Posing Workflow For Newborn Photography, a guide by Kimberly Reid, has so many great tips for doing an entire newborn session from beginning to end. 

We wanted to share with you 3 tips from Kimberly Reid's guide to help with your own newborn sessions.

FOR NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY NOW!

 

SAVE $120 NOW WITH CODE BABY120

Plan Ahead To Keep The Baby Comfortable

One great thing about a newborn session is that you do not need a huge space to capture some amazing photos. You do, however, want to make sure the baby is comfortable. Kimberly Reid does this by keeping a space heater nearby and a white noise machine on to make the baby nice and sleepy making it easier to take photos. If you take newborn photos regularly, these may be two great items to invest in. 

Backdrops

When you are setting up your backdrop, it is best not to pull your backdrop straight up from behind the baby like you typically would with a hanging sheet for someone a bit older. It is better to set up your stand further back from your posing pod and pull the fabric more horizontally towards it which helps to naturally create a nice, blurred background. 

Positioning the Hands 

Posing the baby in a basket, box or posing pad is a few great poses to use when you are first starting off with newborn photography. It takes awhile to gain confidence in handling and posing the babies which makes those beginning easy poses best at first. 

If you want to make your newborn photography go to the next level, you must think about the details and perfecting even those simple poses.

One detail you want to make sure you do not forget about is the babies hands. You can place the baby on their back and position their hands across their chest or tummy and the goal with this is to have their fingers stretched out and relaxed versus in a fist. Once the hands are set, have the mom or dad place their hand over the babies hand until the baby is relaxed enough to hold that pose on their own. Then, you can count to 3 and have the parent let go of the baby while you quickly snap the photos.

8 Ways To Make Money With Your Photography

Many of you out there may have your own photography business and already make money from your work but there are probably a large number of you who just take photos as a hobby or passion. If you do photography as a hobby, have you ever wondered how you could make a little (or a lot) of money with your photography?

We found this great article on Digital Photography School that we had to share with you today. If you are looking to make some money with your photos, here are 8 great ways that you may love!

1. Shoot Microstock

If you are great at taking commercial images, you may want to look at different microstock sites such as Shutterstock and iStock Photo. Commercial images are the types of photos that sell the most with these types of sites so by uploading the images you take, you may be able to make some money. 

2. Be A Second Shooter

There are many times that a professional photographer may need help from a second shooter for a specific project. Perhaps they are photographing a large wedding or they are working a sporting event or project where having a second shooter will be helpful. The best way to find these jobs is by networking and meeting other photographers. Opportunities tend to arise through relationships. 

Photo credit: Olly Stabler; his first photo to make it print 

3. Sell Prints

Selling prints is a great way to make money with your photography and there are many different ways to do so. You can choose framed copies for larger amounts of money, you could print on canvases or even do prints on their own for those customers who want to spend less. 

When you sell prints, you should also make it a point to purchase some of your best work to display in your studio or to show when you meet with clients. Showing what type of work you do and the prints that you offer is a great way to upsell as well which in turn makes you more money if that is what you are trying to do.  

4. Write and Sell An eBook

If you are very passionate about your photography experiences and love to share your own tips and tricks for your trade, creating an eBook would be a great option for you! Of course writing an eBook will take up time in the writing and creating phase but it will help you make a name for yourself within the photography industry. 

5. Have a Portrait Party

Just like any type of party, invite friends, media, colleagues and possible clients to your studio and tell everyone to bring friends. Take portraits of people all evening and have some fun entertainment and food. During the party, you can show the photos you have taken and give them the option to buy their photographs or even book a session with you. You could even give out a few free prints to thank them for coming (which is also a great way to get the word out about the work you do). Getting more and more people to know about your business is the best way to result in more business. Word of mouth is so important!

6. Photograph in Nightclubs

Taking photos in nightclubs will help you learn a bunch of skills that you will need if you want to do hire paid and more complex jobs later on. If you are pretty new to photography and want to earn extra money and build up your skills at the same time, this is a great job for you! This will also help you build confidence because you will be forced to interact with lots of people all at the same time which is a very important quality of a photographer. 

7. Enter Competitions

Photography competitions all offer various prizes. Try looking for competitions that offer a cash prize and enter as many of them as you an. If you take photos regularly, choose some of your best from your portfolio. Carve out an hour every day searching and submitting your work for these is a great way to begin. Just be sure to keep in mind that entering a competition does not guarantee a payout and can be an unpredictable way of making money. 

8. Start A Photo Booth Service

A photo booth is very easy to operate and is a similar price to a full frame DSLR body and lens. With a photo booth, there are an unlimited amount of events and options available including parties, weddings, corporate events and more. Keep in mind that this option may not be the best for a new photographer as you really are limited with the artistic photo opportunities with having a photo booth, but, if your main goal is to make money, it could be an option.

5 Reasons To Start Photographing Wildlife

What is not to love about photographing wildlife? There are so many different animals to capture and they all have different personalities, characteristics and habitats which can make for some really interesting photographs if you capture them correctly. We found this fun article on PetaPixel that gives some great reasons why you should start photographing wildlife. We totally agree and wanted to share 5 of those reasons with you today along with some really great animal photos! 

So why should you start photographing wildlife? This is why:

Photo credit: Tin Man Lee via PetaPixel

1.   We Are Still Cavemen

The cavemen from hundreds of thousands of years ago has the same wiring in their brains as we do today. Nature is where we belong which is why most of us love to go to the beach, enjoy a nice walk in the woods and love watching an amazing sunset. We used to hunt for wildlife as a way to survive (and some people today still do) and now-a-days, wildlife photography is the best way to "hunt" for animals.

Photo credit: Tin Man Lee via PetaPixel

2.  The Power Of Nature Is In Your Hands

When you do wildlife photography, you are trying to capture a split second. That moment when the animal's behavior and the light work perfectly to create that amazing photo. The hard part is that you can not change nature. You can not change the lighting or what the animals are doing at that moment. You can not get too close where you would scare them, make them run away or perhaps cause danger to yourself, but you also have to be close enough to where you can capture a decent photo. 

As a wildlife photographer, instead of trying to control the animals, let them be. Make the best of the conditions that you have, learn the behaviors of the animal you are trying to photograph and try to put yourself into their habitat. 

Photo credit: Tin Man Lee via PetaPixel

3. Living In The Moment

No matter what you are doing in life, people always say it is good to live in the moment and enjoy what you are doing right then. There is no need to worry about the future, just enjoy the present. 

You must live in the moment when you are photographing wildlife. You never know what they are going to do, and you have to be ready to react whether it is with taking a quick photo, or even changing to a new location because that animal decided they wanted to move around a lot that day! 

Photo credit: Tin Man Lee via PetaPixel

4. Witnessing Amazing Creatures

Unfortunately, many animal species go extinct and many times it is because of humans. Global warming, oil drilling and so many other factors cause habitats of wild animals to disappear and there are so many species out there that many of us have never seen or even know about. 

Being a wildlife photographer will allow you to meet wild animals - some that you did not even know existed or that may be gone before you know it or even get to witness them again. It can be truly amazing to experiance, while capturing an awesome photo at the same time. 

Photo credit: Tin Man Lee via PetaPixel

5. You Can Find Beauty In Everything

While everyone loves a beautiful sunrise or a rainbow that comes after an afternoon rain, those are not just what is beautiful in nature. Even if it is a dark and dreary day, you can find beauty somewhere and that is what is so great about being a wildlife photographer.

5 Tips For Fashion Photography

Are you a fashion photographer that works with models and fashion designers to capture amazing styles of the time? You may be working with veteran models who have done many photo shoots and know exactly what they are doing but there is always a chance you could come across a model who is a little more timid that is harder to work with. You will be working with many different personalities and no matter what you want to be sure you capture the model and the fashion that is being featured in the best possible way you can. 

Today we want to share with you 5 tips that are so important for fashion photography! 

Photo credit: WeHeartIt.com

1. Be Confident 

When you are working with models, you can not be timid. Make sure you show confidence in your work and when you are telling them how to pose and move around. If you are confident, they will be confident and it will make everything work together nicely. 

2. Make Sure The Look Reflects The Style of Fashion

If the specific shoot you are doing is showing off a clothing line, make sure that is the focus. Also, it is important to pull together the model and elements of the scene to reflect the style that is being captured. Are you photographing a line for working professionals? If so, make sure that the makeup and accessories are more conservative and not as showy. If the line is more flashy then the other elements can be the same. It is good to keep in mind the audience that will be interested in this type of style and put yourself in their shoes so you can be sure to showcase the style perfectly.

3. Use Poses That Flatter

You want to make sure you are using poses that are flattering to the model. Stay on top of the latest men's and women's fashion magazines to get an idea of poses that are popular and what looks the best.

4. Make Sure Your Lighting Is Perfect

Whether you are shooting in a studio or doing an outdoor shoot, you want to make sure your lighting is spot on. Using a studio is helpful because it is much easier to control the amount of lighting you need or do not need for the specific type of photos you are trying to take.

If you are shooting outdoors, plan to be flexible depending on the whether as well as the time of day so you have the best light possible. Also remember that if you are shooting outdoors or in low light, you may require an extra light source so plan accordingly when you are packing your equipment. 

5. Choose Your Location Wisely

The location of your fashion shoot is so important and makes a huge difference. If the clothing line you are shooting is more edgy or provocative, finding a location that has an urban feel would be best. If the line of clothing you are photographing are for spring, it could be perfect to find an open field, beach or garden to capture the beauty of the outdoors.

1 Man and 6 Different Photographer Perspectives

It is truly interesting how every photographer can see the same subject in a different perspective. Canon captures it perfectly with this really cool project they did and we just had to show it to you all today. One man was photographed with six different photographer perspectives. 

Photo credit: Tip Hero

No matter what type of equipment you use, this shows that the camera is really not what does the work and it is the person behind the camera who makes the photo what it is. A different angle, a specific pose or even the expression captured on the subjects face can make one person look like many different types of people. It is all in how you capture them. 

Check out this really awesome video below and be sure to tell us your thoughts in the comments below. 

We originally saw this video on Tip Hero.

"Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."
