First of all, we’ll assume that you are already into photography and that you know the basics. So, if you encounter a concept or a term that doesn’t sound familiar to you, check out some articles regarding the basics of photography. So, let’s take a look at photography tips you should keep in mind at your next job as a party photographer.
When you try to take a photo of a group of people, they usually arrange themselves, shoulder to shoulder, into a straight line. If, however, they are sitting on a couch, they would expect a photographer to take a photo from the dead center. The outcome in both cases is a boring photograph. A party is a fast-paced, dynamic and exciting environment, so there is no enough time or room to arrange a group into some interesting configurations. As a photographer, you have to make your shots less boring. For example, a step to the left (or right) from the dead center will definitely add depth to group photos, since one side of the group will be further to the lens, imparting a feeling of depth and making more captivating composition.
Also, try using a jaunty angle (also known as a canted or a Dutch angle). This photography technique can be used to develop an interesting and captivating composition from a rather dull scene. Your photos will look more alive and dynamic if you do some jaunty angles. However, this technique can be a bit tricky if photographers don’t keep the composition in their minds. Additionally, photographers are often more able to get the best angles of their subjects using a Dutch angle.
