Quick Style Tips for Your Shots
- Go wide to capture the mix of textures—stone, sea, sky, bougainvillea—in one frame.
- Include a human element—whether it's your silhouette against the coast or walking through an alley—for added storytelling.
- Use natural framing, like archways or door frames, to guide focus and add depth.
- Play with contrast, pairing bright blooms or water against ancient, muted stones.
