Friends Club 1st Quarter 2021

Smartphone Pho WRITTEN BY CONRAD YUTZY, MARKETING OFFICER, DESIGN & PRODUCTION STRATEGIST

Framing Your Subject – Believe it or not, you don’t always have to have your subject in the center of your photos.

This can create more of an interest in what or whom you are photographing. A simple trick to help you frame your subject is to turn on the grid lines in your settings.
