Many teens are ditching smartphones to use old, early-2000s point-and-shoot digital cameras for that specific vintage quality.

If they feel awkward in the clothes, it will show up in the photo. Loose fits, vintage tees, and comfortable sneakers always photograph well.

Good lighting can turn a basic snapshot into a high-quality photograph. You do not need expensive studio lights to get a great result.

Take photos while they are walking, laughing with friends, or messing around.

Do not delete a photo just because it is a little blurry or grainy. Often, those imperfections are what give the photo its mood and character.
