Don't take pictures of everything

Novice photographers press the camera button every minute - they are afraid to miss something. When the urge to capture EVERYTHING passes, the process becomes more thoughtful. Professional photographers say that sometimes they want to put the camera down and just watch what is happening, absorb, "take pictures with their eyes."

People are the most interesting

Photos of sights, even beautiful ones, are boring. There are thousands of such pictures. People bring life to photographs because they can convey emotions and the scale of objects. Perhaps a photo of a child chasing pigeons against the background of the Blue Mosque will be more interesting than a photo of the mosque itself without people.

Pay attention to details

Go further than others

The best way to discover beautiful, non-trivial places is to explore. Get off the beaten tourist path, get lost among the streets of an unfamiliar city, get to know the locals, go to a completely non-touristy, but authentic village ... This is how vivid and vivid pictures are born.
