Here's the list:

Have you noticed that the most professional looking images are ‘clean,’ distraction-free? A photo without a clear subject divides your attention and causes confusion.

The first step to isolating the subject is identifying your photographic intention. Once, you recognise your motivation for capturing the photo, you will attempt to make it stand out to the viewer.

There are many techniques to isolate the subject. You can remove background clutter from the frame before capture, or in editing!

If you do not have control over the background, you can blur it. A blurred background will contrast against the sharp detail of the subject.

You can isolate the subject against the sky by shooting from a low angle. Other options to contrast the subject, could be the positioning in front of a simple, single colour or texture background.

Contrast colour or lighting by darkening the background or adding a spotlight on the subject can make it isolated and stand out.
