A Wide Variety of Simple and Helpful Photography Tips

Creating a successful image takes the confluence of good technique, creativity, and a wide range of other factors, all of which one needs to achieve the best possible result. This fantastic video shares a ton of great advice on topics ranging from composition all the way through to post-processing. 

Coming to you from James Popsys, this excellent video shares a ton of his favorite tips for improving your photography. Personally, one of the best things I have done for my images has been to actively work to simplify my compositions. For the first few years I was serious about photography, I approached compositions by asking what I could add to the frame, which often led to my images being overly complicated and cluttered. I eventually flipped the question by starting to ask what was essential to the frame and learning to leave out anything that was not. This led to cleaner, stronger images that were more impactful for the viewer. Check out the video above for lots of helpful tips from Popsys.
