Background
Be aware of the background. A bright background or a light
source behind the subject will cause back lighting or a
shadow. Generally, you want a dark, solid background to
provide a nice contrast with the subject.
Framing
Get close to the subject and capture as much detail as
possible. Fill the view finder with the subject. Often the best
image is not head on, but from an angle to allow view of two
sides of the subject.
Lighting
Make sure your subject is well lit. If there is not enough
light, you may have to adjust the exposure on the camera or
use additional lighting. A simple work light is a good choice
for additional directional lighting. The general rule is to
have the light source behind or off to the side of the camera.
