Where and How You Photograph This section is about where and how you go about taking a photograph. We have attempted to bracket such things as "formal to informal," locations ranging from Nicole's bathroom to the banks of the river, and what switching background colors does. (If you think there is a lot of overlap with the WHAT section of the site, we would agree — many of these classifications are a bit arbitrary, and not worth arguing over.)
Studio Style: MAKING a Photograph Here we go from an informal snapshot to a formal portrait, controlling each creative variable.
Photojournalism Style: TAKING a Photograph In a reporting situation you get to control very little, yet you can — and often must — come up with a variety of good images.
Above, At, or Below One major choice, often overlooked, is what angle to shoot from — eye level, below, or above the subject. This is often the difference between blah and great.
Subject vs Background This mundane subject is one of the BIG things that separates amateurs from pros. Pros see the whole image, including the background.
