The Most Important Photo Tip Ever?
Several years ago, a photographic mentor of mine suggested thinking of every subject as the nucleus of an atom, and yourself, the photographer, as an electron buzzing around it, seeing it from every possible angle and distance.
“It will be the most important photo tip you ever get,” he predicted.
Perhaps his assertion was a little brash, but few concepts have helped improve my photography as much as that one.
This is because most bad photographs (as well as the utterly ordinary ones) arise from one thing: laziness. To better understand what I’m talking about, watch someone taking pictures the next time you’re out and about. You’ll probably observe something similar to this: an eye-catching subject is spotted, the camera is pulled out, a quick shot is snapped without the photographer even moving his or her feet, then the camera is put away again and off they stroll.
