*Move it from the middle-This technique was one I was already familiar with. It pretty much the same concept as the rule of thirds technique. The idea behind this is just to move your subject, object, or focal point slightly to the right or left. This is a good way to show the viewer a new perspective.
*Know your flash's range-This is something that is very important to know about your camera. Different cameras have different flash capabilities and this can determine ultimately how the photo turns out. It is good to know the distance that your flash is able to produce light so your subject is able to be bright and defined.
*Watch the light-This is a tip for making sure another objects shadow doesn't affect something in your photo. It is important to be aware of your surroundings so that your photo isn't dark or in the shadows.
*Be a picture director-A photographer should always arrange the subjects in the photo to what pleases them and what looks the best. Rather than just having a group of people stand in a line, have them bunch together or stand on different levels. This will overall create a less boring picture and give you what you want.
