4 Tips for Shooting Like a Photographer | Knowledge #54

First, let's train our observation skills. Photographers pay attention to small details that ordinary people might overlook. For example, shadows on street corners, reflections of light on window glass, or the shape and arrangement of fallen leaves can all be wonderful subjects.
By focusing on these details in daily life, familiar scenes can start to look new.

Photos have the power to evoke the stories behind them. Use the expressions of your subjects and the elements in the background to take photos that convey a story to the viewer. For example, in landscape photos from a trip, incorporating elements that reflect the culture or history of the place can add depth to the photo.
When shooting, think about 'what you want to convey with this photo' and try to express it concretely.

Photography is also a means of conveying emotions. Try to draw out and capture the emotions of your subjects. By capturing not only smiles but also serious expressions and unconscious moments, you can take photos that convey deeper emotions.
Communication during shooting is also important. Engage with your subject and draw out the emotions they unconsciously hold.

To improve your photography skills, it's important to take lots of photos without hesitation and receive feedback from others. Show your work to others and listen to their opinions. Also, analyzing other photographers' works and learning their good points and techniques is crucial.
Make active use of platforms like or within the app to interact with other creators.
