Nowadays, looking good in photographs is something we all want to do. Many people know how to pose for a really good photograph, so it's no wonder people want to know how to TAKE that photograph well. What's the best light, all that sort of stuff.

I recently got into modelling and have found that getting photographs taken for a portfolio can be really expensive; charges for the session as much as £50 and then £95 per print that you want! So, I started taking them at home (well my mum took them for me :P) and they came out really well! Anyway, I found this article online that had 5 top tips on how to take a good, professional looking photograph and thought other people might find it useful.

Top 5 tips for taking amazing photographs

1. Use the vertical.
2. Turn off the flash.
3. Get close to the subject.
4. Use the rule of thirds.
5. Save face with telephoto.
