How Do You Hold A Camera Properly? This Is Very Important! Hi and welcome to Episode 93 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Here is the answery bit.

To hold a camera properly you should

• Hold the body and lens with your left hand
• Hold the grip in your right hand
• Stand straight
• Legs slightly bent at the knees
• Feet apart in line with the shoulders and slightly pointed out
• Tuck your arms in tight
• Relax
• And breathe in and slowly out before gently pressing the shutter release
• This is how you hold a camera properly. 

Ok that was the answer – so let me explain.
