Community ManagerWhat’s the one tip you’d give yourself starting out as a photographer?
There’s nothing quite like the power of hindsight, especially when it comes to some of those golden life tips you pick up along the way that would made your everyday a lot easier if you had known the...
There are many tips that can help you improve your photography skills, but if I had to choose one, I would say: Practice, practice, practice. Photography is a skill that requires constant learning and experimentation. You can read all the books and articles you want, but nothing beats actually going out and taking photos. The more you shoot, the more you will discover what works and what doesn’t, what you like and what you don’t, and what makes your photos stand out. Practice will also help you master your camera settings, your composition, and your post-processing. As the famous photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson said, “Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, try new things, and have fun with your camera. Practice is the best way to learn and grow as a photographer.

I totally agree, practice definitely helps make perfect, and learning new skills and experimenting is also a lot of fun, which I think is equally as important when doing something that you are passionate about!
