Key tips

  1. Look for architectural details like a railing to use as a natural perspective framing your main subject.
  2. Pay attention to perspective by positioning your subject against a clean background like the clear sky.
  3. Find perspective: Choose a viewpoint that uses a calm element like the cloudless sky as a background to isolate the subject.
