1. Subject

A subject is the most important part of the picture. Without a subject, you cannot take a photograph. Be it anything. for example, trees, leaves, a person, building . Etc, Whatever you take a photograph. Of, becomes a subject of your very picture. The choice of subject for your photograph becomes the most vital part when you are taking a picture from your camera. The way you look at something can be different depending upon the individual’s choice, but what comes first is WHAT TO LOOK AT in a picture. If you don’t have a fine and proper subject for your picture, no matter how good the angles is, the photograph would not look nice because the choice of subject has not been something great.

2. Background of a picture.

After we have chosen the subject of our photograph. It is now time to think of the right choice for the background to the picture. What is background? Background is whatever comes behind the subject of your picture, creating the right atmosphere for the photograph, and giving it a feeling of completeness. No matter what your subject is , it should be within, or should be placed at the right background, making the picture look complete, and giving it a feeling of completeness.
Right choice of ground: For example, we take a photo of a baby who is sitting in a garden and enjoy a good time the picture look complete, and giving it a feeling of completeness.
Wrong choice: What if we take the same baby and make him sit in a room full of factory equipments. What we did here was taking the child to an area that does not go with the delicacy we need in a child‘s picture hence, ruining. It may be the photo of the baby came out well, but the background is not appropriate with the subject, so we did not get an appealing picture.
Every subject we choose has to fit in the atmosphere and give us the right kind of feel according to desire result. At times, the background only becomes the subject of your photographs

Everything that we photograph depicts something or the other. No photosphere wanting to show something different. From a simple drop of water to an aero plane taking off, everything has a story. It is different when we look at a banner or hoarding of a car moving on the road and how we look at the picture of a stationary car on a plan white background. This is due to the fact that cars are generally meant for motion, and there we story of a car moving on the road and traveling to certain distances.
