While taking pictures at the open space, the sun should be towards your back. Choose the time of day when the lights are neither too fast nor too little.

Frame composition: The second important thing to take care of frame composition while taking photos. Make sure there are not too many things in the frame. It will distract from the main theme of the picture. Also, keep in mind that which angle will fit according to the scene. Try those other unnecessary things like electric wires are not captured in the photo. Notice that some things are not spoiling the beauty of your frame and also see what makes the picture more beautiful as the frame can be enhanced by keeping flowers in the background.

Law of Third: The third main thing is called 'law of third', that is, always split the frame into three parts with the help of vertical and parallel lines and place the main elements of the photo where the lines are cutting each other. Do not put a single character in the centre. The characters look good in the right and left parts of the centre.

Beautifying Elements: Find such symmetries, curves, textures, and colours that can create a particular thing in your photo. These elements can increase the beauty of your picture. For example, the wood texture looks beautiful in the background of the portrait.
