Tip 1 Move it from the Middle
Center-stage is a great place for a performer to be. However, the middle of your picture is not the best place for your subject. Bring your picture to life by simply moving your subject away from the middle of your picture.
Tip 2 Plain Background
Look for plain backgrounds and avoid strong patterns or clutter behind your subject. A single subject against a plain background will stand out better and make a stronger image. You don’t want what is behind your subject matter to take attention from your subject. A plain background shows off the subject you are photographing. Having a plain background creates emphasis. When you look through the camera viewfinder, force yourself to study the area surrounding your subject.
Emphasis is a principle of art which refers to the use of visual elements to draw attention to a certain area, usually a focal point, in an artwork.
