I often advice people to get close to the subject of filling the frame with the subject but i noticed that I’ve never given example for these. And I think giving examples about them will help beginner photographers to understand what i mean more easily.

Getting close to your subject often helps photographers to come up with better results in terms of photography. Getting close and filling the frame with the subject can turn the simplest things in to a good picture. You can either get close to the subject physically or zoom in. It is your choice, Although they have different effects of the picture. But it is a more complicated subject. Since i wrote “BASIC” in the title I’m not going to write about the differences in this post, maybe in another post.

Anyway, You can view the example for “getting close” below. It is not a masterpiece in terms of photography. But it doesn’t look bad either. There’s no additional lights filters reflectors etc. , just the light coming from my window. I even didn’t change the position of the guitar that is an everyday object of my room. I just took the picture by only zooming in, nothing else. What I’m trying to say is Even the most simple object can make a good picture. By zooming in or getting close you can avoid the unwanted background and objects around your subject. In this picture, i avoided the messy room of mine which won’t make a nice background image by zooming in.
