how do you find better angles for your shots?
Our take
I’m trying to improve my photography and I think one of my biggest problems is angles.
A lot of my photos end up looking very basic, like I just pointed the camera straight at the subject and took the shot. When I see great photos from others, the angles often make the image way more interesting.
I’ve tried crouching, moving around the subject, and getting closer or farther away, but I still feel like I’m missing the “eye” for good angles.
How do you usually find interesting angles when you’re shooting? Do you have any habits or things you look for before taking the photo?
Also, did this come naturally to you or was it something you trained yourself to notice over time?

- What actually improved your photography the most?I've been shooting for a while now and keep running into the same question, what really moves the needle in photography after you've got the basics down? It's easy to get caught up in upgrading gear, but I'm starting to feel like small habits like shooting more, studying light, editing consistently, etc. might matter way more long term.

- When/How Do You Actually Find Time to Shoot?i’m new to photography and i keep hearing that the best way to improve is just to go out and shoot. i get that, but i’m struggling with actually doing it. my schedule is packed most days, and by the time i have free time, i either don’t have the energy or it’s already too late to go out and shoot. weekends aren’t always reliable either. my cameras are just sitting, and it feels like a waste. for those of you who are also busy: how do you make it work? do you have a routine, or do you just shoot whenever you can? do you plan shoots in advance, or keep it more spontaneous? do you count small things (like walks, shooting at home, etc.) as “practice,” or do you wait until you can properly go out? submitted by /u/Ok-Improvement-476 [link] [comments]
- I just cannot for the life of me grasp lighting. Any advice?I have been taking pictures for a few years. I’ve moved on to photographing people. I’ll take like 50 shots and I’ll be like WOW to a few of them and it’s just the lighting. This does NOT come naturally to me. The adjusting your subject in an outdoor shoot with the sun in different locations. The constant changing of manual settings. Im not sure why it just hasn’t “clicked” yet.
