What i mean by look is the footage. Why does it look different?

Answer by catfish
professional cameras have a larger image sensor and hence, to facilitate that, also have a larger lens. and which ultimately requires a larger body

Answer by Fishmeister
You may maybe question a professional photographer to pop round with his lighting gear, take the photo using your camera then question him to edit it for you?.

What exactly are you trying to shoot?, portraits?, indoor/outdoor?, a Sony what?.. Your question is just too vague.

It’s not the camera that makes the picture, it’s the photographer. Take pictures with excellent colour and fascinating composition. If you have Photoshop, that will help you make your pictures look more professional.

What does a professional picture look like? What sort of camera? You can use a tripod and maximise the quality by using the lowest ISO/ASA background.

If it is a point and shoot the inferior optics and small sensor size will make it very hard to get sharpness of image. That said, the wow business in a excellent shot is rarely a function of the camera. It is usually a question of composition and light. To realize that, you can do a couple of things. Read books, or go to a photography course. More importantly take lots of photos and really reckon about how you have composed the shot and where the light is located. There are some basic guidelines such as a business called the rule of thirds, and shooting with the light behind you. But, these are not absolute rules and are made to be broken. You can also look at the work of lots of photographers and reckon about how they have achieved results that you like.

The best advice is shoot lots and discard the failures.

They’re “professional pictures” because the public who take them are professionals with training in using lighting, exposure, depth of field, color, etc, etc, etc. Check out some how-to books on photography at your community library. It’s a fine art, just like painting or before a live audience a musical instrument, and takes practice. With a small knowledge and practice, you can take some pretty decent photos even with a crappy camera. Excellent luck!

It depends on what are you taking photos of.

there is a rule called the rule of thirds which is to apportion your picture into 9 squares e.i. #. and place your main subject in the top or bottom left or right square instead of smack bang in the middle. This works for objects.

for public, it looks professional if you have your subject in a 3/4 position. And try only to have the photo any close up, cutting around the waist, chest or full length.

light is also a excellent tool in photography. excellent natural light (Sunny with a cloud here and there) is perfect. For public, try to have the light from their left or right frount so they are not squinting.

If you have an image control program. e.g photoshop or Picasa. you can also edit out unwanted imperfections. e.g. red eye, darkness.

for more thoughts, try going to the community libary on a book on fail safe tips
