Lesson


​ph1-1. Select your background

When taking a picture carefully select your background. 

For example, let’s take a look at the choices we have.

I’m over here.
Here I am.
I’m here!
​

The first step to taking a good picture is select your background.
​

ph1-1. Practice

​
Take three pictures of yourself using three different backgrounds.
  1. Pick a cluttered background that you don't like
  2. Pick a plain-colored background
  3. Pick a background you think will look good, don't worry if you are wrong.
Study your results. Write 25-75 words about your observations.
