Shoot during golden hour for soft, warm light and long shadows. Use the rule of thirds to create balanced, dynamic compositions. Look for leading lines like roads or architecture to guide the viewer’s eye. Frame your subject with natural elements, such as trees or windows, to add depth. Don’t forget to capture small details, textures, and patterns. Create depth by including foreground, middle ground, and background elements in your shots. Experiment with different angles, like low, high, or wide, to find what works best.
