Why You Need To Move In Close
This beginning photography tip is one of the simplest tips out there, and the one that has the potential to make your photography the best, but it is also the one tip people resist the most. The tip is to move in close to your subject. Really close. A lot closer than you’d think. If you search the internet, you’ll find dozens of references and quotes about how much you can improve your photography by simply getting in closer to your subject. You’ll find the famous quote that says “Get your shot set up to where you think you’re really close, then take two steps closer.”
Another great quote by the famous photographer, Robert Capa says “If you’re pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” The pros know this, practice this, have embraced this, and passed it along to their students. But the average photographer still tries to get “the big picture.” Step out of the average and step closer to your subject. You’ll get much better shots.
