Use Contrasts for Added Impact!

One great way to add impact to your photographs is by using contrasts. Contrast can make your subject really stand out from the rest of the image. For instance, a bright subject photographed against a dark background, or a dark silhouette against a bright background really adds impact to a photograph.
There are many ways you can implement the use of contrasts in your photographs. I have listed below a few other suggestions for you to try.
Happy/Sad
Male/Female
Large/Small
Hard/Soft
Tall/Short
Young/Old
Static/Motion
Close/Far
Hot/Cold
Rough/Smooth
Living/Dead
Sounds like a great tip. I’m more into video, But i think the same ideas apply. I’ll be back..
