Some of the best parts of traveling are the memories you make along the way, and pictures are a great way capture those wonderful moments.
Here are some tips to ensure your photos are as beautiful as your destinations.
When you’re setting up your picture, place your subject in the center of the frame. Or you can get more creative and move them to the left or right side of the frame. This would be a great way to highlight both a person and an object in view behind them, such as a cathedral, a mountain, or the ocean.
