With the last night among us, you’re sure to want the PERFECT pictures of the night, which is what you promised yourself last New Years. This year, though, you’re equipped with my handy How To Photograph the New Year guide.
Step 1: Lightly Plan the Night
What do you want to photograph? Kids? Couples? Selfies? Create a list in your phone (because who will keep track of a little scrap of of paper all night?) and check it occasionally to be sure you’re capturing the moments you intended to get.
The atmosphere – are you outside or inside? Having a cozy night at home or at a raging party on the waterfront? Let us see that starry night or the beautiful fireworks over the river!
This one is most important. If you’re stressed about taking the perfect photo at the perfect moment, it’ll show in your photos. Likewise, spending time with your guests capturing candid and hilarious moments will make for great pictures – and those natural memories are the purpose of taking photos in the first place. Being in the moment, and having the photos to match, will be the perfect evidence that you’ve achieved your first New Year’s resolution of a night well spent…. and can we say selfie?!
