RESOURCE GUIDE
Forward-facing angle of retail store, logo and face of building are clearly visible.
Examples of shots to avoid
Focal length of image too close. Zooming out and using a wide angle lens helps capture multiple side shops.
Photography
Examples of shots to avoid
Avoid unrealistic post-production editing. In the example above, the sky is too saturated and appears unrealistic.
Good example of post-production editing.
Photography
Examples of shots to avoid
Another example of a poorly framed photo, the car in this photo takes up too much space.
Better example of a retail store with cars in front.
