How to take better photographs, improve the background.


I had a photo - shoot this week of a beautiful young model, but there was a challenge with the background.  We were in buildings with broken glass, doors and lots of holes in the roof.  Because the eye tends to go to the brightest place in the image, you as a photographer want the brightest place to be the face of the subject. But if they are in a building like I had it is hard to position the subject so that there is not a bright spot behind them competing for attention.

Sometimes I did well

Sometimes I did not do well. And you can see from the images below how the brighter places compete for attention.

But we both had fun and we did get some beautiful images, which is what really counts!
