But where to start?<\/p>\n<p>Well you are in luck. We asked some of the featured photographers from that story to share their tips to take better photos and not a single one requires an expensive camera. \u201cYou don\u2019t need fancy equipment \u2026 some of my favorite images have come from my phone,\u201d says Cory Smith (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/bkbeerguy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@BKBeerGuy<\/a>), an advertising industry creative director whose beer photos often look billboard-ready. \u201cSome of my favorite images have come from my phone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So grab whatever lens you have handy, and let&#8217;s get going!<\/p>\n<p><b>Philosophy<\/b><\/p>\n<p>To begin, ask yourself why you are taking pictures of beer in the first place. Many of our featured beertographers started doing it as a personal quest to document the wide variety of beers they encounter. Some focus on the beer itself, while others like to capture certain aspects of the experience, whether that be the environment or the people they are with.<\/p>\n<p>Your beertography perspective may change over time, but being able to articulate your motivation with each shot will help you to focus your eye and develop a signature style that others can latch on to. Beer and food blogger Jessica Rice McNew (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/beerandbaking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@BeerAndBaking<\/a>) suggests \u201ckeeping a theme for your followers helps keep the contiguity.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_51223\" class=\"wp-caption alignright \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-51223 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/19155913\/Subject-Matter_GoodBeerHunting.jpg\" alt=\"Subject-Matter_GoodBeerHunting\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 @GoodBeerHunting<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subject Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cA beer photo does not have to be a closeup of the bottle or can and glass alone,&#8221; says Jose A. Cruz (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/jomando\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@jomando<\/a>). When your shots include some of the surroundings, he says, \u201cIt places them in time and makes it easy to recall when and where you enjoyed that beer.\u201d By providing clues about the time and place of the image, you add an emotional factor to the image that your audience can connect to more easily than a sterile product shot.<\/p>\n<p>A good way to do this is to \u201czoom out, way out,\u201d offers Michael Kiser (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/goodbeerhunting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@GoodBeerHunting<\/a>). \u201cPut your audience in the photo \u2014 don&#8217;t put the photo in their face.\u201d Kiser continues, \u201cOften the context or the interaction around a beer is just as interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Are you in a bar or out on a\u00a0hike? Is the place crowded or a dimly lit dive? Thinking about these elements can help bring the experience to life.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_51224\" class=\"wp-caption alignright \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-51224 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/19155913\/angle_BendBrewDaddy.jpg\" alt=\"angle_BendBrewDaddy\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 @BendBrewDaddy<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>Angle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What differentiates your grandma\u2019s vacation pics from a <i>National Geographic<\/i> photo? Most of the time, it\u2019s that professional photographers find unique ways to look at things. Shooting a scene from an uncommon angle can add a dynamic factor to your photos. Try shooting from extremes like a bird\u2019s-eye or worm\u2019s-eye view.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Ward (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/bendbrewdaddy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@BendBrewDaddy<\/a>)\u00a0likes to \u201cget below the beer\u201d to make it \u201clook bigger than life.\u201d Like many photographers, he can usually be found \u201claying on the ground to get the perfect shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_51225\" class=\"wp-caption alignright \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-51225 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/19155913\/clutter_BeerandBaking.jpg\" alt=\"clutter_BeerandBaking\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 @BeerandBaking<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>Clutter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe less cluttered, the better,\u201d notes McNew. Some of the most intriguing shots are often simple, even barren. We\u2019re used to a cluttered world, so a scene of relative inaction can be a striking counterpoint. Try subtracting the messiness by leaving it outside the frame.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_51226\" class=\"wp-caption alignright \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-51226 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/19155913\/debth-of-field_BKBeerGuy.jpg\" alt=\"debth-of-field_BKBeerGuy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 @BKBeerGuy<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>Depth of Field<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Playing with depth of field can create some really interesting images. Putting a primary foreground element out of focus, for instance, can draw attention to background details that wouldn\u2019t otherwise be noticed.\nIf you\u2019re lining up a shot that has some objects very close to you and others that are very far away, try focusing alternately on the foreground and background and see which one gives you a more unique perspective.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_51227\" class=\"wp-caption alignright \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-51227 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/19155913\/thirds_thebottletrade.jpg\" alt=\"thirds_thebottletrade\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 @TheBottleTrade<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rule of Thirds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Often our natural tendency is to put the focus of a picture directly in the center. This is kind of an in-your-face approach that produces more of a snapshot than an arthouse photo. Next time, try using the rule of thirds to provide some variety.<\/p>\n<p>Mentally divide your viewfinder into a grid of three columns and three rows. Placing objects of emphasis at the intersection of these lines can create dynamic images that demand more than a quick look.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_51228\" class=\"wp-caption alignright \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-51228 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/19155913\/lighting_BrewBokeh.jpg\" alt=\"lighting_BrewBokeh\" width=\"300\" height=\"301\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 @BrewBokeh<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lighting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNatural light: always use it,\u201d recommends Dee Stecco (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/beerliveshere\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@BeerLivesHere<\/a>), whose hands-off approach to lighting contrasts nicely with her flat and geometrical compositions. \u201cPlease never use flash. It takes away from the colors of the label and beer itself.\u201d This is a sentiment echoed by photographers across the globe. Flash photography washes out the background and only focuses on highlights.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Donk&#8217;s (@BrewBokeh)\u00a0experience as a concert photographer taught him a thing or two about the importance of adapting to whatever light you find. He says photographers should \u201cspend less time trying to stage a shot and more time looking for ways to utilize the available light.\u201d If it\u2019s too dark where you are, look around for a light source that you can use.<\/p>\n<p>It might sound like a lot to take in, but keeping a couple of these principles in mind next time you line up a shot will go a long way towards making your beertography pop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few of our favorite beer photographers share their tips for taking better photos.
