1. Take MANY photos. The more photos you take, the better you get at taking them, and the more likely you are to snap some good ones. You’ll then be able to throw out the blurry ones, the overly dark ones, and the badly composed ones, and you’ll still have a nice selection to choose from.
2. Take photos from a variety of angles.
3. Keep the background simple. My all-time favorite and oft-used background is a clean white poster.
4. Keep the styling simple. A simple, minimalist arrangement can be achieved with the addition of one or two complementary props.
