In this article I intend to give some simple advice to amateur photographers.

It's a simple way to enhance your skills without have that kind of expensive equipments. Think with me, let's picture that you're in your place, it's raining and you have some free time that you want to dedicate to your photography skills, but you don't have how to go outside and you want really bad to practice.

Do the following:

Go on Pinterest, Tumblr, or even Google Images and look for some references. Look for some simple images of stuff that you have at your home or studio.
Pay attention to the minimal details of the picture: Light, shadow, position, composition, and if you can or want to, the colors too.
Now that you have your reference picture, the object and the camera, it's time to TAKE PICTURES!
Just try to recriate or even improve the reference picture, let me show an example that I did.
- That was my reference picture

And that was the pic that I took

And that is the result after edition

I really hope that you enjoyed the post and made good use of the tips :)
