Museums, theaters, and other cultural landmarks are wonderful starting points for people who are exploring a city, and it’s Local Guides like you who love art and culture that inform them of the best places to go. As we continue to share our passions with #LetsGuide, here are my tips for taking photos that help other art and culture lovers explore your city.
Tip 1: Shoot wide to show the whole space and include people for scale
If you encounter a crowded museum or gallery, try standing further back from the crowd to get as much of the space as possible in your photo. Including people can give someone looking at your photo an understanding of the height and size of the building or space, just be sure not to show children or close-ups of people.
Tip 2: Find symmetry
When exploring places like museums, you may find an area where one half of the space is identical to the other. Symmetry can add a sense of harmony to your image. If you’re having trouble keeping the image level and completely balanced, try turning on your camera’s grid for guidance.
Tip 3: Create a frame within a frame
Look around you and see what can be used to frame your subject to make your photo more interesting — like trees in front of a building. Or, if there’s an archway or window in the foreground, try shooting through it to create a frame around your main subject.
Tip 4: Capture monochromatic color
Be a color sleuth! Look for an area of the place with a monochromatic color scheme for a cool effect that make textures, patterns, and other details more noticeable.

Fantastic post.
Thank you for guidance and nice pictures 👍
Symmetrie already okay,
but scale still improvable....😇
