Ever wondered what separates a good photographer from a truly great one? Let's find out! Today, we dive into the world of photography, exploring the elements that transform a simple click into a breathtaking masterpiece. We'll unravel the blend of technical skills, artistic vision, and the dedication necessary to separate from the photograph pack. The ability to visualize the shot before clicking the shutter, creating a powerful composition, and pushing boundaries with colors and innovation - these are all part of the recipe for success.
Here are a few key points from this week’s episode.
{15:18} You know they they're always learning from one another And to me that's crucial The fact that some of the greatest photographers that we know do not see themselves as people who know everything. They know they're good at what they do. They may even know that they're great at what they do, but They certainly realize that, as much as they know, they can still learn more.
{16:40}Nowadays it's not difficult to get a hold of a great camera. They're more affordable than ever. If you have money in the bank, if you have a credit card, you can go out and buy a really expensive camera And then you can go and buy some really expensive lenses And you could start taking photos and they're really good photos. But that doesn't necessarily make for great photography, because if we run through that list of characteristics that I talked about, there's a lot to learn there And you don't learn that by just hitting the shutter and getting some good photos.
{19:17}First of all, you should arrive with a plan. You should have a concept. You should take the time to set up before your client arrives. You should have the time to talk to your client when that client arrives. If you had not done so previously, have the time to speak with your client as you work through this process of taking their photograph.
