1. Seek Simplicity
Think simple, think basic! Try to keep the frame simple to convey the message of your shot quickly. Think in terms of one or two basic things and frame your shot by keeping the separated things within. Don't make your shot complex by trying to highlight or convey more than two concepts or things in one shot. At times you might want to ignore this but for most shots, keep this in mind.
2. Personalise it
Try to highlight the concept or thing which engaged you. Don't imitate others in common shots. You might have noticed something different. Try to convey your prespective in your own personal framing style. You can give that unique touch to the simple concepts by adding & conveying your own personal style.
3. Choose Complimentary Background
Background can make or break your shot. Do pay special attention to the backgrounds. Complimentary backgrounds can enhance the feel of your shot amazingly. Similiarly, poor background choice can spoil the feel of an amazing shot.
4. Avoid Wrong Cropping
Don't be tempted to crop the halves of the things to seek uniqueness all the time. At times, it can add more depth to your shot. But for most shots, avoid chopping halves or thirds.
5. Shoot With Many Frames
Its very rare that your first shot comes out the best one. Take your time to take your shot with different frames. Work with your subject in different ways.
6. Try Different Angles
Don't be afraid to shoot with unsual or uncommon angles. You never know trying out some uncommon angle can bring out an amazing shot !
7. Keep In Mind Your Last Mistakes
Whenever you are framing your shot, try to remember what you did wrong last time. Keeping your last mistakes in mind helps you to avoid old mistakes and do the right thing this time. We all make mistakes but we can turn them into blessings by not repeating them! If you had spoiled a shot in the past, don't let it happen next time!
