Keep your elbows as close to your body as possible, whether you’re shooting horizontally (landscape) or vertically (portrait).
Now, when you bring your camera up to your face, you’re essentially creating a sturdy human tripod! Keep the camera body pressed [comfortably] against your face to avoid unnecessary wobble.
Last but certainly not least, we need to discuss your stance. Everything discussed earlier is moot if you don’t have a solid stance. To start, spread your feet about shoulder-width apart. Move your left foot slightly forward. The heel of your left foot should be roughly inline with the toes of your right foot.
Pro Tip: Remember to bend your knees! I can’t stress this one enough. If you lock your knees, not only are you rigid and more likely to fall over, there’s a good chance you’ll pass out if you stand like that for too long.
Now you’re ready to start shooting sharp photographs! It’s all about practice, and the more you use proper camera-holding techniques, the quicker it will become a part of your muscle memory.
