Becoming a confident and capable photographer is no small task, and it is something to be proud of when you accomplish it. If you are currently on that journey and looking for tips on how to improve, check out this fantastic video tutorial that features an experienced photographer sharing five important tips sure to help you on your way.
Coming to you from Kayleigh June, this awesome video tutorial discusses five tips for changing your photography for the better. Perhaps the most impactful tip is the importance of ignoring trends and not comparing yourself to others. Chasing trends can be detrimental for several reasons. First, if you are chasing trends, it will always be tough to distinguish your work, because you are always competing with what is popular at the moment. Second, you are robbing yourself of your own creative identity, and it is always far less satisfying to chase the work of others than to do what makes you happy. Lastly, chasing trends means you are always behind, as you have to wait to see what is popular and try to play catch-up. There is a lot more worthwhile advice; check out the video above for the full rundown from June.
