Anyways, I looked for my personal set of excellent tips, compiled and ranked them accordingly. Hopefully, these tips will help you out on taking magnificent photos and win photography contests. All the tips are intended to have a little uniqueness from the rules, not totally break them but just to get a whole new different aspect.
Rule of the Eye
Lightings is another factor that could trigger striking portraits. “Side-lighting can create mood, backlighting and silhouetting your subject to hide their features can be powerful.” – Darren Rowse. The slow synch flash and elements of randomness are two of the lighting techniques that could turn portraits into a winning photo competition entry.
Shooting people while doing the things they love brings out the best of them. You will be surprised on how images will turn out if you shot candidly. Sometimes subjects don’t look good while at pose, shooting candidly gives you wider variety and gives your subject more ease. The randomness that candid shots have may create a good impression for photo competitions.
“Sometimes it’s what is left out of an image that says more than what is included”. This is true very true. In picture contests, focusing a shot in a certain body part plays the imagination of the viewer. This gives random thoughts and creates sensations to any that sees the portrait.
Switch your camera into burst mode and make rapid shots at a time. This is a great technique for subjects that are constantly changing or to someone who’s doing something that makes him move in quick successions. In picture contests, having a series of images rather than one static photo is unique and very amusing.
