PHOTOGRAPHY: IMPORTANCE OF THE BACKGROUND
When taking pictures, we concentrate intently on our subjects but what about the background? Not taking consideration of the background of the photo, we often find the picture changing a subject or telling another story line not even consistent with the main content of the story. Taking control of the background can help turn a photograph into a beautiful photo.
The first step to improving the backgrounds in our photos is to be conscious of the background's importance to our photos. We must know that the right backgrounds can make our reports stand out. This often means simply paying attention to what is behind out subjects during our photography sessions. (http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Photography-Tips/Backgrounds.aspx).

This lady looks like she has three arms and whereas there is another lady behind her .If these was an article about how talented the lady is, in singing, it would had introduced another story line of “ a three arm talented lady”.
Figure 1:what are you? a male in a female's body?
This lady looks like she is has male reproductive organ,
Whereas there is a stem of a tree behind her and these makes it look like she is a man in a woman's body.

We need to understand and know that, what you capture behind your subject can often make or break your photographs.
Funny how our sisters will starve themselves to look like famous people/models when infact models' pictures go for edits before going public!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Nic yes it is imporatnt to also look at what is behind you before taking a picture more expecially if that picture is one of the most imporant picture for your memories
DeleteThat is so difficult hey, but although it is not easy paying attention on your backgroung when capturing a photo, People can improve this by making sure that they are in the right position of a photo. And thanks for your advice, I think people should take it and live with it
ReplyDeleteThank you for pointing out the most coomon problem we come across as photographers, but for now that you are a professional photographer, you need to put into practise a good way of taking the best photo dont be tempetted by how beautiful the event it is itself,Most imporatntly your background.
