don’t just put your object in the middle of the frame & take a picture… try different angles. different lighting. random objects - don’t take pictures of just people, or just pets. good luck.
be very choosy of your shot, take the same one 3-4 times from all sorts of different angles
a good camera always helps too, i recommend a cannon, or nikkon
Watch what will be included in your shot. Think how to cut off rest in the best way.
Give an air at the top. Try to make a frame on the sides.
Try until you feel right about it.
Only shoot what you love. By narrowing your subject field to those things about which you are passionate, you’re less likely to lose interest and more likely to improve.
Of course, it doesn’t hurt to read up on composition and the mechanics of photography, but don’t get too wrapped up in that. Go out, find something you enjoy to shoot, and don’t limit your creativity. Don’t worry about looking awkward or getting dirty–really get into the shoot. Unique angles can make a bland subject seem outstanding, and sometimes that means laying in dirt or looking silly.
The least important thing in the beginning is your equipment. Some tech nuts love to have the newest and priciest gadgets, but without talent they might as well have spared themselves the expense. Start small. Having limited options isn’t a negative thing for a beginner…it makes learning easy. it removes the element of intimidation, and it forces you to be innovative when situations arise that are bit complicated. Nothing feels much better than taking a photo with a point-and-shoot, $100 camera and having someone with a $2,000 SLR ask how you got the shot. You get to answer, “Because I’m just that good.”
Once you improve, step up. I recently took the dive after four years of point-and-shoot ownership and bought my first digital SLR. All of my experience with those cheap little cameras has made me a profoundly better photographer with my more expensive utility.
Then your pictures will start looking really good.
When you aren’t afraid to try every angle or lay on the floor or hang from the roof or stand on a cliff; that’s when the photos get good.
They will say you are crazy, ridiculous, passionate, and maybe even obnoxious… but when they start seeing your work they’ll start asking you to take their pictures too.
also, unless you do this for a living… dont charge for every photo job you do… when something becomes a job you quickly grow weary of it. Just shoot because you love to!

People will think you are that “camera girl” …
my tip is to get over it.
Then your pictures will start looking really good.
When you aren’t afraid to try every angle or lay on the floor or hang from the roof or stand on a cliff; that’s when the photos get good.
They will say you are crazy, ridiculous, passionate, and maybe even obnoxious… but when they start seeing your work they’ll start asking you to take their pictures too.
