Visit different places

Matthew Jorden Smith, one of the most famous fashion celebrity photographers in America, once said that under no circumstances should you be deprived of the opportunity to go somewhere. You can go to any exhibition or concert. When you calm down and get to know different scenes, you never know what attracts your attention-it may be a strange still life or a work of art that you can't understand in an exhibition. They may be insignificant in life, but their existence will definitely open up different shooting methods for you.

Revise your old work

You may feel that the work you are shooting at present is not very good, but sometimes you may find that a certain photo may be because people are dressed differently, or because people themselves are different from the people in the photo. As time goes on, some shooting methods may be inappropriate and some are better.

In addition, you can analyze your old photos with other photographers and provide some suggestions. Although these may not be all right, they can at least find the shortcomings in shooting for you, and if you do, they will encourage you to change.

Don't worry too much about hardware.

We have discussed it in the previous content, but this is just an introduction. Why not advise you to worry too much about the photographic hardware? Because the hardware equipment is fixed, mastering the basic parameters and skills of the hardware equipment should be more in the scene itself than the hardware.

Pay more attention to life.

Some people think that everything in photography must have profound meaning. This way can't be completely right, because when we feel tired, some simple aesthetics and shapes can make you feel relaxed and stimulate your inner feelings. Such a photo is a good photo.
