7. Note the direction of the light source
Note the position of the sun to see the type of light you use shooting. If you want to produce a silhouette photo shoot done with the position of the sun is behind the object, otherwise if you want the light to focus on objects then doing a photo shoot with the position of the sun is in front of or beside the object. In addition to the light from the sun, the light can be created by using the lights and the use of these lights is more flexible in determining the direction of the light so that it can produce a better photo.
