How To Keep Moving Forward With Photography When You Doubt Your Skills
Every single one of us will doubt our photography skills at one point or another - in fact, I would say it is at least a yearly occurrence for me 😀
It also doesn't seem to matter whether you are completely new to photography, or been shooting for a while, there will always come a time when we feel doubt creeping up on us, and it can be paralysing.
Understanding how to keep moving forward, even when you doubt your ability, is key to making sure that you carry on on your photography journey, and achieve your goal of becoming a photographer.
5 Tips For How to Remain Consistent When Editing
Tell me, are your photos all over the place when it comes to how you edit them? Do you like a soft and airy edit one day, and then a dark and moody one the next, and then maybe vintage with a touch of matte? When you view your images all together does it look as though they have been edited by around 30 people or someone with a serious multiple personality disorder (😁)?
Yes?
Then a) don’t worry about it too much as it happens to us all, and b) this is the blog post for you!
Guest Post: How to Set and Plan Your Goals for 2018
When someone asks me if I do other forms of photography besides interiors and still life, I always respond, seemingly joking that I shoot interiors because I don't like people. As an introvert, I could never have imagined that I would be someone that inspires and encourages people to start with interior photography and give them the directions to grow their business and brand. But it turns out that I love it as long as I can keep my groups small, really small! Like five students small, at the max! Probably not the best way to grow rich but I love the interaction, the personal approach and that is my strength.
5 Reasons Your Images Aren’t Turning Out The Way You Want
It can be so disheartening when you pour your heart and soul into photography, but no matter what you seem to do, your images just don’t turn out the way that you want them to, or how you thought you’d captured them!
I know, I’ve been there too 😁
That’s why I wanted to write this blog post today, so you can know the MOST likely reasons why your images just aren’t turning out like you see in your head, and so you can go and do something about it!
The key to anything you read on this blog is ACTION. Have a look through these five reasons and see whether you are already doing the recommendation. If not, start to implement it as soon as possible to start seeing an improvement to your images!
Ready? Let’s jump right in.
How Do I Get Started Shooting in Manual Mode?
So, you’ve been hearing a lot about shooting in manual mode, and thinking to yourself “Hmmm, I’d like to try manual mode, but i’m still on AUTO, what do I need to do to help me make the switch?”
Well, wonder no more, because that’s where this blog post comes in.
I’m going to break down the steps you should take, and the things you need to understand before moving on to the next step , so that moving to Manual Mode is a smooth transition. Think of it as your own little roadmap for switching to manual mode 😀
You see, it’s not as simple as turning the dial on your camera to the big “M”, which is where a LOT of people fall down.
So, are you ready? Let’s dig in.
10 Most Helpful Blog Posts For Moving Your Photography Forward
This has been one of my favourite blog posts to write this year, because it has allowed me to look back at all the content I’ve created over the last few years, and give you a one-stop shop for the best bits!
Well, maybe not ALL the best bits - because that would be a heck of long blog post :-)
(yes, I’m so modest!)
So I had to narrow it down. I’ve chosen these based on a few different reasons: firstly, not only based on how good I think they are, but on how much I believe they can move your photography forward. And second of all, I also took into account which posts were the most popular, most read and most commented on, so you can see the ones that resonated most with others, not just the ones I loved (they can sometimes be very different!)
Of course, I have tried to mix this up a bit between beginner and slightly more experienced photographers - because let’s face it, how helpful these are on moving you forward with your photography will depend on where you are now, so there are still some gems that will remain nestled in the blog pages for sure :-)
So if you missed one of these blog posts first time around, be sure to read them now, or you’ll kick yourself for missing them!
(Don’t have time to read them all now? I hear ya! Pin this for future reference instead then so you don’t forget)
