#10 Don't Chop Off Their Feet!
Your subjects might have beautiful faces…but don’t forget their feet! Many people assume that to take a great photo, you need to tweak lots of fancy settings in your camera. But the truth is, it’s the small things like this that separate you from the rest. Just take a few steps back and make sure their feet are completely inside the frame, that’s it! (Of course, don’t do this if you are shooting from the edge of a cliff 🤣.)
Why is this important?
Attention to detail makes you look more thoughtful as a photographer.
Your subject might be wearing nice shoes—how can you assume they don’t want their shoes in the photo?
Feet are an important part of the body. Why would you exclude them?
Of course, this is assuming you’re intending to take a full body shot. If you’re going for a close-up shot, then that’s a different story which we’ll discuss soon.
Here’s a quick 3 min video driving home this point:
Thanks for this insight, Swami! I hate it when people cut off feet in photographs. Can't afford to have my shoes being cut off!
Wondering if you had me in mind while creating the content for this lesson 😂
