A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hey! I’m photographing my 9 month old cousin and I’d love some tips (alien.top)

Things like focal length (I have a cropped sensor), lighting and general tips you have find useful. I’ve never really done portrait photography before so any help would be appreciated

Use the screen on your camera instead of looking through the viewfinder. You’ll get much better smiles out of them when they can physically see your face instead of just your forehead behind the camera.
