"Now I will take a picture of you", Eric told Clara. He grabbed his phone, quickly focused, and snapped.Eric was one of those good at photographing; he had been shooting for years! He took a nice picture of Clara, and looked at her proudly.Clara was in the center, totally in focus, perfectly framed from the ankles up.A mouse-ass-colored sky was the background, and a green recycling bin appeared half of itself on the left of the photo. A couple of cigarette butts lay on the asphalt and, having shot with the side light, Clara's face was half yellow and half black, the effect of the sharp morning sun. It seemed that Clara had a huge eye socket.What a beautiful souvenir photo, Clara will forever be associated with a garbage can, with obvious mutilations from the ankle down, and only half a face. Very well.Here is a somewhat fictionalized example of what can happen if you do not have at least a good idea of how to compose a photo. This does not mean that we will fill the world with professionals, but that at least, if we decide to take a picture and invest time on something that maybe we will run on social media, or that we will see again in twenty years, we will have the moral obligation not to never have to be ashamed of it.Above all, we try to keep Clara well, because in front of a piece of art of this type, she might never give us up.We will see together some ideas, tools to avoid these mistakes and to allow us to be at peace with our friends, loved ones, and why not, to ensure that we can find a "good", who in our screw does not, hurt.Above all, we will not lose Clara.Good study and happy experimentation. Prerequisites for useful reading:a) We have a camera, or at least a smartphone;b) We know how to focus on a subject with a central point, or multiple points (the latter typical of smartphones or automatic systems of photo-graphic machines);c) We want to learn and improve; d) We think that photography is culture and that art is born from culture.
