Get the perfect holiday photos with these five tricks:

Motif

Do not place the subject in the middle! If you place the object of desire flush left or flush right, you give the scenery more space. The result: a holiday photo with more content without the image looking unstable.

Contrasts

Opposites attract, as we all know! To make photos more interesting, make sure that you integrate the different structures in the picture. For example, a building with flowers in the picture looks much more alive.

Perspective

View a motif from different angles! Other perspectives appear unusually fresh and varied to the eye of the beholder. So for the next snapshot you need to use your body.

light

Pay attention to the incidence of light! Especially early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the sun is not shining in full effect, the motif comes into its own best. Important: the camera angle goes with the direction of the sun's rays.

Patience

You have to take your time! Only then will you succeed in taking a beautiful photo. Don't be stressed by your surroundings - and above all, enjoy it! The most beautiful holiday photos are taken when you are not looking non-stop through the lens or smartphone.
