I don't know what a phaafur is, but photography is about creating a window through which the observer may see what you want them to see.
Frame your subject tightly, unless you really want the background to help tell the story.
Focus. Always make sure you're in focus on your subject. Other stuff can be out of focus for an artsy touch.
Hold the camera steady.
Make sure your lenses are clean.
Use good film or make sure the digital camera is on its highest quality setting.
Good luck!

First of all read your camera's manual and check all menus and buttons etc. - Test the functions to understand how it works. -
Have your girlfriend/boyfriend pose for you and take a few photos from different angles in different lighting. - Download photos in your computer and see which ones are good and try to understand why some are not so good. - Recheck the manual to find why you failed in some photos.
Take your time, concentrate, be meticulous, take a lot of photos and you'll soon enjoy the photography and will be a pro whose photos everybody wants to see.

In addition, be aware of the lighting situation. Generally, you want the lighting behind you, and shining on your subject. Be sure to keep the camera level, too. Before you click the shutter, look at the ground in the viewfinder, or some other horizontal object, and ensure that it goes straight across horizontally.
You can shoot in bright light or low light, but beware situations with some of both. The brightly lit area will be overexposed, or the dimly lit area underexposed, or both.
Keep your finger off the lens! heehee

maybe a phaafur is a photographer?
most people, when they take pictures of people, stand too far away. Pictures are better when you can see faces clearly, and pretty close up. Also if the people aren't posing for the picture, that is better too, more interesting.
Always stand with the light source behind you.

Thats a stupid question. And ive always thought that there was no such thing as a stupid question. Go to your local community college and take a class on photography, or buy some photography books and magazines.

you can buy/check out from library, many books about photography, it's all visual so i can't really give you an example, but its small things that when they end up on a pic, make the world of difference to how good the pic looks.

Umm... my grandads a pro. photographer and he always tells me that it's very important to consider your lighting and the way it hits the person or object as well as the flash on your camera you need to be able to determine if the lighting needs a flash. 'hope I helped.
