Introduction
A lot of people don't know these simple steps, steps that will allow you to easily make beautiful and amazing screenshots.

I know this because me, and many others just done the normal f12, but sadly this is clogged with your hud and other things that are prohibiting you from creating a gorgeous screenshot.



Getting To It
Now to get into it

To be able to get good screenshots you'll need a few things:

1. A good scene for the screenshot.
2. knowing how to open the command console.
3. knowing how to enable the commands and disable them.

Now the first one should be easy to get, the game itself is full of beautiful landscapes.

The second one, to open the command console you simply click on the button that is directly below the esc key and to the left of the number 1 key.

Now the commands:

tm - disable your hud (health, magic etc.), this often gets in the way, simply type in tm after the screenshot to bring your hud back and exit the console by pressing the console key again.

tfc - Enables the free camera, where you will be able to fly around and get amazing birds-eye view captures, what ever you think is beautiful is now easy to get, simply type tfc again in the console to disable it.

tfc 1 - This on top of allowing free camera, while also pause what ever is going on, you could be shooting an arrow, spraying fire over some unlucky peasant or slicing someones head off with a sword, this will pause it straight away. To disable just type it in again.

fov - allows you to adjust field of view, allowing you to zoom in and out, make the screenshot wider. To put the games fov back to normal settings, just type it in again.

tai - Disables ai, type it back in to allow them to move about again.

tcai - toggles the combat ai, enemies won't engage you, anyone you spray with fire wont attack you, good for getting next to giants and dragons without them attacking you, perfect for screenshots, to disable type in again.

Thats it xD
This will allow you to get screenshots like these.

addon called photo mode does all this with no commands AND allows free movement during the photo session so you can take any picture from any angle

sucsm [number]

is also good for controlling camera movements for small adjustments. I prefer 1.5 with a controller.

If you are going to use an ENB use Caffiene for Skyrim and use SkyrimSE Re-Engaged ENB for Skyrim SE

Oh yeah sure, best way to do it, though the game does come with an in-built enb.

I would also add that you use an ENB
