High Line, New York City

Once you begin to look at the world for photographs, everything begins to take on new character and interest. You become differently aware of your surroundings, looking at them with a fresh eye. Your neighbors' gardens, the office buildings you pass every day, even common objects like coins or key chains—all can make compelling images.

The Caledonia is one of many apartment buildings newly constructed along Manhattan's High Line.

An English version of a biography of Mao Tse Tung sits on a table in a train.

Photo Tip: When photographing still life compositions, you can rely on natural light alone if you position the subject near a window. Curtains soften the sunlight, and the natural shadows fall in the same direction.

Water Lily Seeds

The ripening seeds of a water lily reveal patterns and shapes that occur in nature.

Photo Tip: When photographing gardens, find an element that interrupts a pattern. It might be one tree trunk of a different color or a protruding rock that breaks the symmetry of concentric circles in the water.

Bamboo Shoots

Autumn leaves litter the ground beneath bamboo shoots.

Photo Tip: Remember that patterns found in nature can be less obvious. Blocks of color, either the same hue or different ones of about equal tonal value, can lend depth.

A teenage girl poses for a portrait on a stormy Nebraska day.

Photo Tip: When you photograph fashion, every element of the photo—the model, the clothes, the hair, the composition, and even the angle—contributes to the vision. Think about the pose; make sure your model knows what you’re after.
