A clear, strong emotion as a dominant theme is like an anchor that allows an image to be pass for a number of different.... okay For example, Like me seated in the office, the emotion here is relaxed , and it's recognize fast because I kept the composition simple. Just on the phone discussing my next blog and how I plan to take

Choosing models
When I choose a model for my image I pick someone who is attractive. People like to look at attractive people. You don't want your subject to be 'model beautiful' although this girl in the photo can be! Look for someone who is good looking, but in a realistic, girl-next-door, everyday sort of way. Exceptionally beautiful and stylised people will steal the focus away from your overall message and it like fake boobs lol(Sorry) And from an art editor’s point of view, and I know if the person or scenario doesn't seem realistic, the viewer won’t trust the product or service being sold. Trust me people its true and you know it!

Leave room for a logo
Even if you're shooting a portrait, a still life or nature scene, it can be a really good idea if you take a few frames with extra negative space on either the right or left side of the frame or even on the very bottom of your photo but in this one below I left the top right spot open( your left). To some photographer's eye, it may seem like an unbalanced composition, but to an art editor or graphic designer it may look like the perfect image to add a logo to

Try not to rock to much trendy clothing!
Like technology, the clothes your subjects wear will also date your photos. Current fashion trends change all the time, and I was taught that if an art editor is looking at your images, she may like what they see but wonder why the couple in your photograph is wearing baggy or even tight lol clothing ... If using models, ask them to dress in classic styles that don't show their age – solid colours, blacks and whites, and especially no branding or slogans.
