PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS FOR YOU:
One of the first things I learned as a beginner photographer was to isolate my subject and reduce chaos in my photos by clearing clutter and distractions in the background. But when we’re documenting family, those unposed everyday moments happen when they happen, and if you take the time to clear the clutter, well… you’ll miss the shot. That said, the point of documenting family is to record life as it is and tell our stories. And the best way to do that is to include our surroundings because they give context and layer our images with information. So there’s no need to aim for a totally clear background. Embrace the surroundings, and give some separation to your subject by using a wide aperture.
