The Stephen Dent Photograph blog has always strived to bring our followers new, fun photography ideas, along with keeping you in the loop about our new promotions and services. Today, we are going to do both! Stephen Dent has a great new limited time offer for back to school pictures. Until the end of the month, we will be doing two back to school pictures for the price of one, which you can use to get two different poses for the same child, or you can pay for one child and get a second child’s photographs for free! We know the economy is a little rough right now, and that many struggling parents have a difficult time with the hefty cost of school supplies, so Stephen Dent wants to cut all those hard working parents out there a break. Please visit our website for more information about how to contact us and the locations of our studios at www.stephendentphotos.com.
For today’s photography tips and tricks, Stephen Dent wants to share the simple but not always obvious trick of looking at great photographs to use as a guide for your photography adventures. There are thousands of photography books, websites, and magazines to use for ideas, and often you can easily find very famous photos online. These are great points of reference, even if you aren’t looking at a famous picture. Any picture you like is a great study tool!
It can be really fun to try to imitate a famous or favorite photograph. Look at the picture and think about what the lighting conditions are, how crisp the photo is in the foreground and background, what the subject matter is, and how far the picture is taken from the subject. Then go out and try to reproduce these conditions and see what effect it has on the overall outcome of the pictures. Do you like what you came up with, or are you happier with the pictures you took in your own style?
Another fun and creative way to take pictures is to include other photos in your photo. For instance, it can be cool to snap a picture of someone holding an interesting or important photograph, or to get a picture of another person taking a picture. This can change the context of the photograph and create an interesting discussion piece, especially because those behind the camera so rarely end up in front of it.
These as always are only suggestions! Grab your camera and go out into the world (or stay inside and explore the details of your home you never pay attention to!) and see what new ways your camera can help you see the world in. Be creative and don’t be afraid to experiment with new styles or to push buttons and change settings on your camera; great things can come from exploration!
