Whether it’s finding the right lighting or the perfect backdrop, there’s a lot that goes into a good photo, however it doesn’t always go our way.
Here are 5 relatable photography faux-pas that can happen when taking photos on holiday, along with some potential solutions!
1. Photobombers
There are two kinds of people in this world and they are those who photobomb, and those who don’t.
There’s nothing worse than looking through your pictures, to and find an innocent-looking bystander pulling a face in the background of your favourite holiday photos. However, this is nothing that a quick photoshop can’t fix if you want to get rid of those pesky photobombers, or you could even keep the photo as it is so you have a funny memory to look back on!
2. Eyes Wide Shut

However, no matter how hard jumping photos are to capture, the results are always rewarding.
