New Year’s Resolution
If you resolve to do nothing else this year, make this one simple change: take more pictures. Set a personal goal, and stick to it. Maybe it’s 10 shots a week or one new shoot per month. Whatever it is, the goal will help you. Every extra exposure will create a teachable moment. Really want to push yourself? Take a picture every day. In fact, take tens or 100s of pictures every day. Prodigy photographer Blair Bunting taught himself how to be a professional advertising photographer simply by making sure he made 100 pictures every day even if it kept him up all night. You’ll learn, then you’ll improve. It’s just that simple.
