1. Toughest photography subjects: Children<\/h2>\n\t\t

Depending on their mood, children can be the best or worst of photography subjects. If you can make the shoot fun and act like a big kid yourself, then they will usually respond. Activities and games can help \u2013 running, jumping, spinning, dancing, or playing with toys \u2013 anything that distracts them from the camera. As for technique, you need a fast shutter speed (at least 1\/200sec) and continuous AF to track movement. Viewpoint is important, too \u2013 get down to the child\u2019s eye level for a greater connection with the subject.<\/p>\n\t\t

2. Toughest photography subjects: Pets<\/h2>\n

Domestic pets can be a joy to photograph, but they can also be tricky subjects. As with photos of people, a wide aperture in combination with a focal length of 50mm or more is a good choice, as it lets you blur out the background. Be sure to focus precisely on the eyes, as these are the most important feature in any portrait \u2013 human or animal. It helps enormously if you have someone with you to arrange the animals and grab their attention.<\/p>\n

\n

3. Toughest photography subjects: Astrophotography<\/h2>\n

The challenge is to deal with the earth\u2019s rotation. Exposures need to last several seconds to capture enough light from distant celestial objects. But the motion of the earth interferes at long focal lengths. The solution is to use a rig like a German equatorial mount (GEM) that rotates the camera to counteract the earth\u2019s motion.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

\n

4. Toughest photo subjects: Macro<\/h2>\n

Macro photography needs extra attention to detail and technical mastery. Depth of field is crucial \u2013 when close up, a wide aperture of f\/2.8 may give a depth of eld no more than a coup<\/p>\n

5. Toughest photography subjects: Weddings<\/h2>\n

This is the ultimate pressure-cooker situation for many photographers. First, there are the technical challenges: think white dresses, dark interiors, uneven lighting. Then there are all manner of other pressures \u2013 herding guests into group photos, fulfilling the long list of must-get, one-chance photos, remaining on hand yet unobtrusive throughout, and all while striving for creativity and professionalism. It\u2019s a big responsibility, so consider extra training or assisting a seasoned pro for a while.<\/p>\n

6. Toughest photography subjects: Outdoor portraits<\/h2>\n\t\t

Shooting outdoor portraits is often an exercise in seeking the best light. Bright sunlight is unflattering on faces and results in overly contrasty scenes. Better to shoot on overcast days or look for a spot of shade. A simple 5-in-1 reflector is worth its weight in gold here. On overcast days you can hold it under the face to lift the shadows and create catchlights in the eyes. On sunny days you can use it as a shade or scrim to soften the light on the face.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n

7. Toughest photography subjects: Bottles and glass<\/h2>\n

The key when photographing glass or translucent objects is to backlight. Frontal light makes glass look messy and creates unwanted bright spots. Aim a speedlight or studio ash towards a white or grey background so that light bounces off the backdrop and travels through the glass. This emphasises the shape of the object and illuminates any liquid inside.<\/p>\n

\n

8. Toughest photography subjects: Birds in flight<\/h2>\n

A subject so specialist it even has its own acronym: BIF. Capturing the motion of flying birds (or insects) is very challenging. A long focal length is required, ideally 400-600mm, and a very fast shutter speed (try 1\/2,000sec in shutter priority) to freeze motion. Tracking birds is another challenge \u2013 head to a local bird sanctuary to practise your tracking skills.<\/p>\n

\n

9. Toughest photography subjects: Products<\/h2>\n

One of the most prohibitive things about product photography is the cost of the lighting, but with a little technical know-how you can shoot high-end product shots with just two home studio heads: one is aimed at the backdrop and the other, fitted with a softbox, is placed in different positions around the subject. Capture several frames, then piece the best parts together in Photoshop.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n

10. Toughest photography subjects: Sports<\/h2>\n

Shooting a sporting event is often about anticipation \u2013 if you know where and when the action is likely to happen then you can be ready. For the most part, this comes with knowledge of the sport, but there are tricks you can use to help. If the subject comes speeding by, then your autofocus might not keep up, so try pre-focusing on a spot where you know the action will occur beforehand. Use a high drive rate and fast shutter, then fire off shots in bursts.<\/p>\n

\n

11. Toughest photography subjects: Wildlife<\/h2>\n

The most elusive of all subjects, wildlife requires the technique of sports photography, the patience of landscape photography and the wanderlust of travel photography. Research your intended animal subject \u2013 its habitat, behaviour and movements \u2013 and use the focal length rule to avoid camera shake. The shutter speed should be at least equal to the focal length. For example, with a long 500mm lens use 1\/500sec or faster.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

\n

12. Toughest photography subjects: Art nudes<\/h2>\n

How do we capture something interesting or unusual with perhaps the most celebrated, most well-trodden form in the history of art? What\u2019s more, how do we keep from straying into glamour or porn? Nudity for nudity\u2019s sake is rarely thought-provoking. Artistic nude photos should be a celebration of the body, perhaps with unusual lighting or an interesting context, a striking pose, or a bold composition. Lighting from behind or to the side like this is often effective, as it emphasises the shape of the body.<\/p>\n

\n

13. Toughest photography subjects: Food<\/h2>\n

For food photography, attention to detail is key. It\u2019s often all about styling. Aside from the arrangement of the food, think about the plate and the surface beneath \u2013 do you want a rustic feel, or something more clean and contemporary? Timing is crucial, too; little touches such as rising steam can really make the shot. For a simple lighting setup, shoot side-on to a window with a reflector placed opposite your subject.<\/p>\n

\n

14.\u00a0Toughest photography subjects: Reproduction<\/h2>\n

The challenge with photographing paintings or other photos is in accurate colour reproduction and even illumination. For the greatest accuracy, use a colour chart or a neutral grey card then shoot in raw and set your white balance to the card afterwards. Varnish and gloss can cause unwanted hot spots, so ideally photograph paintings before they\u2019ve been varnished and framed. If hot spots still show, try angling two lights \u2013 one on either side \u2013 at 45 degrees to the artwork.<\/p>\n\t\t

15. Toughest photography subjects: Current events<\/h2>\n

At the extreme end of the scale, photographing in war zones or dangerous territories is surely the most demanding environment of all. Thankfully, most of us will never face such a challenge. But even on a more local scale, photojournalism can be daunting. It\u2019s an exercise in economy: how to distil an entire story or concept into a single frame. Ask yourself, in any given scenario, which angle or which subject will capture how it feels to be there in that moment most completely?<\/p>\n

\n

16. Toughest photography subjects: Misty landscapes<\/h2>\n

The inclusion of fog and misty conditions can give a wonderful atmospheric feel to landscapes, but it\u2019s easy to end up with washed-out scenes that look flat. Mist rises around water and wet fields, making an excellent display both in the morning and in the late afternoon. With the mist acting like a big softbox in the sky, contrast is reduced, but use this to your advantage. With objects progressively losing contrast the further back they go in the scene, it can be a great way to emphasise depth in your shot and exaggerate the differences between near and far objects.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n

17. Toughest photography subjects: Interiors<\/h2>\n

Often the challenge with interior photography is in balancing artificial interior light with the brighter window light. We have two options. We can either shoot multiple exposures \u2013 one for the interior, one for the outside \u2013 and then combine them later. Or we can boost the interior light with flash so that it matches the outside conditions. The latter will often look more natural. Try bouncing the flash off a ceiling or wall to fill the interior space with soft, even illumination.<\/p>\n

\n

18. Toughest photography subjects: Underwater<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\"tough\t\t\t

Is there a more alien environment for a camera than underwater? Aside from the challenges of keeping gear dry, lighting is the main problem. Water absorbs light, and red is absorbed more than blue, which is why underwater photos will often have a blue cast. In addition, the light is often at and dull. So for top underwater photos you\u2019ll need to supplement the ambient light with your own artificial lights \u2013 either a dedicated underwater strobe or, if in a pool like this, a speedlight in a watertight bag.<\/p>\n\t\t

19. Toughest photography subjects: Street<\/h2>\n

In one sense, street photography is about overcoming fear \u2013 the fear of confrontation, abuse, or even arrest. But the beauty is that as long as we practise common sense and respect, most people will behave with courtesy, perhaps slight amusement, and sometimes even with delight. A good lens for the street is a 50mm prime on full frame or a 35mm on a crop sensor. This gives a classic field of view similar to what the eye sees, and offers a wide maximum aperture for minimal depth of field \u2013 useful when isolating subjects against cluttered backdrops.<\/p>\n

\n

20. Toughest photography subjects: Concert photography<\/h2>\n

Low ambient light, restricted viewpoints and fast-paced activity is a cocktail that will push your gear and technique to the limits \u2013 we\u2019re talking wide-open lenses and noise-inducingly high ISOs. For low-light handheld conditions, use manual mode and auto-ISO, set your maximum aperture (eg f\/4) and a shutter speed of 1\/250sec. Shoot in raw for extra exibility on white balance later.<\/p>\n

She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Toughest-photo-subjects.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-27 03:45:50","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114770"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114770\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":115547,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114770\/revisions\/115547"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114770"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=114770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
