Here are some points that can make the photos better and objective
● The Rule of Thirds: The rule of thirds is well-known; the basic principle is that the shot will look better if the photographer puts points of interest on the thirds of the frame. It can visualize these points when imagining lines dividing the screen into nine blocks: three sections vertically, and three sections horizontally. Adding points of interest on the thirds will help eliminate any unnecessary distractions in the photo.
● The Depth of the Shoot: What the photographer chooses to show (or not to show) illustrates a lot about what’s in the shot.
● The depth of the scene is affected by:
Location: Where does the photographer shoot?
Lens: What lens should use and it’s capacity to provide depth of the shot?
