When you look at landscape photos online, you’ll probably notice that, for the most part, it’s the most exclusive, inaccessible, and most expensive places. And beyond that, you have other problems to deal with, such as distinguishing your image among thousands of other images created on the spot. This great video tutorial discusses why you should embrace your local area and how.
Coming to you from Alister Benn’s Expressive Photography, this great video guide discusses the importance of covering your local area for landscape photography. I’ve always thought this was extremely important. First, traveling to famous locations is often expensive and time-consuming, and even when you get there, you still have to find a way to create photos that stand out from the thousands of other places. On the other hand, if you embrace the area around you, not only will you not have to compete with too many photographers, but you can also leverage your local expertise to create photos that people also in the area can’t afford. That area will appreciate, giving you an edge. if you are hoping to sell your work. Check out the video above for the full recap from Benn.
