My 5 tips for successful photos:

  1. Prioritize shooting in the morning or at the end of the day during the “golden hours”! These moments which follow or precede sunrises and sunsets. The light, the colors, the contrasts are generally TOP!
  2. The sun at your back and more precisely from ¾, so your subject will be provided with a shadow which will give it depth and personality.
  3. The rule of thirds is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective solution for highlighting the content of your photos. Display the third party grid from your smartphone options.
  4. Respect the geometry, a horizon line is straight, especially for a watercourse! Instagram makes it easy to correct it.
  5. Take the time, enjoy your walks... these photos will in any case be the best way to capture your memories and share them with the hashtag #VGxperience.
