Top tips for a good photo!
Below are some top tips to take a good photo!
Keep it natural
Candid photos are often the best! Ones that show members having fun, laughing and enjoying themselves
Have a clear background
Try to have a clear background without other people or objects obstruction the landmark
Use Portrait Mode
If you have portrait mode on your phone camera, this can create a softer background.
Photo level
Take the photo at the eye level of the people in the photo.
Good Lighting
Natural daylight is best for taking photos. Face towards the light for brighter shots. If you are inside, use a small white light to brighten faces.
Avoid the zoom!
Zooming can blur a photo, instead move closer to the subject of the photo.
