Set a small Aperture, try one no greater than a f/8 if it’s a Digital or f/16 with an SLR, so that your foreground and background can both be sharp. Practice shooting under a variety of Lighting conditions, from different angles, and with each of the built-in features included in your camera. It is possible to take very interesting, high-quality photographs without focusing on traditional subject matter. Ideally, a photographer is able to use his or her technical skills and artistic eye to add visual interest to even the most basic subject. Finding your style can be done by trying different techniques. When taking pictures of people, make sure that the background is slightly blurred. If the background is just as in focus as the subject, it takes the eye away from where you the viewer should be looking. You can do this by having your background farther away from your subject. Go ahead and walk around your subject as you shoot to find an eye-catching angle. Try shooting the subject matter from above it, below it, to the right of it, to the left of it, etc. Try to experiment with colors, angles and the different features of your camera. An original object is something that is not required to take a great looking picture. A good photographer infuses his talent and intuition into his photos to make boring objects look interesting. Find your style through experimentation.
