The depth and angle of the shot are decisive for a successful shot.
Make sure no people or things get in your shot.
Light is very important for taking a beautiful photo.
Be it selfies, portraits or landscape shots, our phone or camera gallery is often full of several attempts, not always convincing. It’s true that sometimes you have to try a few angles and positions to get THAT photo, the one you’ll be proud to see (again) unmoderated and show your loved ones. Photography is an art, and without becoming a pro, here are some tips to come back with spectacular and memorable vacation photos.

Playing with backgrounds and perspectives
To take a good photo, it is important to pay attention to the foreground, but also to what is behind it. What do you want to show explicitly and what else do you want to suggest? Does the cliché always send the message you want to convey? Whether it’s a portrait or a monument, make it stand out against the background. On the latest smartphones, the portrait effect allows you to choose which elements of the frame will be sharp. So it is relatively easy to achieve a beautiful result. Lines and impressions of depth also always give a photo something special. Of course, make sure people or things don’t get in the way of your plan.
Different points of view
We are united on this point: a photograph is never as beautiful as what we see with our eyes. Therefore, you should try several angles and viewpoints before pressing the shutter button. Don’t stay straight in front of the lens, crouch, gain a little height, move in front of the shot… Try different angles to highlight your subject and bring out its strengths.
Light matters: don’t neglect it!
Although the previous two elements are very important when trying to take a beautiful photo, in case of bad light, they are completely disrupted. Too much sun on the face will make this look “burnt” which won’t highlight anyone and the backlight can do something nice, but playing with shadows wasn’t necessarily your first idea. Therefore, you must first look through the lens of your device or at the display of your smartphone to see if the brightness is sufficient. A little tip: morning light and sunset light, called the “golden hour”, create particularly pleasant soft and warm contrasts.
