Swami Photography

When you frame your shot, make sure you're not cutting right at a joint. It will make them look amputated. Instead, cut in between the joints.

Before you hit the shutter button, make sure their feet are inside the frame. If not just move back a bit.

Keep your photos straight, especially landscapes, and especially if the horizon is visible.

When you are shooting a group, make sure you're the only one taking the shot. If other photographers try to join you, ask them to wait until you're done. The group won't know which camera to look at with multiple photographers.

When shooting people, look out for protruding objects. Trees or poles can appear to extend out from your subject's head and make them look unintentionally weird.

Before you take a shot, make sure there are no random people moving about in the background. Having people partially cut off in your frame makes it look cluttered and distracting, and you'll come across as a careless photographer.

Position your subject so there is ample room in the "line of sight". For example, if they are facing right, place them on the left. If you place them too close to the wrong edge, it would trigger an uncomfortable feeling--almost like they are going to walk off the frame.
