The last hour before sunset and the first hour after sunrise are coveted by professional photographers. Referred to as “the golden hour” or “magic hour,” these times provide the perfect light to capture stunning photos. Learning to harness the power of the golden hour is a tool every photographer can use.

Many people wonder what the best angle for full-body photos is. The most traditional choice is to lower your camera so that it's more or less in the middle – more or less at waist height. This allows you to fit the subject's body in the frame without tilting the camera. As a result, you won't get any distortions.

Perspective photography is the spatial connection between objects in a photo. Explore your landscape depth — paying particular attention to the foreground, middle ground, and background — to create dimension in your perspective photos.

Most photographers advise that you use a tripod. This will help to stabilise the camera, which will ensure sharper photos and give you the opportunity to take long-exposure shots. You should also work on your composition. To do this, you will need to practice choosing a good frame and working with the rule of thirds.
