#5: 3 Steps to creating a WOW photo
The transition from taking a snapshot and recording a moment in time to capture a WOW photo can be attributed to how you:
In this episode, I concentrate on three easy to implement steps to dramatically improve the way you set up the photo. To make certain your photos stand out and give your audience the ‘WOW’ factor, there are three elements to consider:
1. Grab your viewer’s attention
Technical elements of a photo can instantly grab our attention:
2. Clearly communicate the subject or story
Photography is an art form, capturing light, colour and movement in an attempt to tell a story for immediate enjoyment, communication or future recollection.
To effectively tell a story – you need to be conscious of what you are trying to communicate. Why did you pull the smartphone out of your handbag or pocket?
Is it a message, a mood, an emotion, an idea or a combination of any of these? What I love about photography is that the viewers can interpret your image differently based on their own experiences and memories.
3. Strong composition
The composition of the photo is how the main subject and other elements in the image interact with each other. Effective composition can guide the viewer through your photo and ensure they focus on the correct element/s. Knowing how we interpret a typical scene will help us to create an image that is easily understood and increase viewer engagement.
Sounds very manipulative - doesn't it?
These considerations will make a big difference to capture a WOW photo.
