It can be easy to get caught up in things like talking about gear or finding dramatic locations for creating stunning images, but there is a lot more to becoming a successful and fulfilled photographer than just those things. If you want to both improve your images and enjoy the experience more, check out this awesome video tutorial that offers some excellent advice sure to put you on your way.
Coming to you from Joshua Peg, this excellent video essay discusses some important lessons for becoming both a better and more fulfilled photographer. Of them, I think two of the most important are finding beauty in mundane scenes and finding joy in the experience of the craft, not just the results. Anyone can go to a popular, epic location and take a compelling image, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. However, it takes a photographer to look at a plain scene and find a unique way of rendering it to make a compelling image, and practicing that skill will make you both a more versatile and effective creative. And of course, enjoy the journey; after all, we all first picked up a camera because we loved the craft. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Peg.
