    00:21 YOU DON'T PLAN YOUR SHOOTS
    *Get your model, lighting, outfit and location to reinforce the theme
    00:55 YOU FOLLOW TRENDS TOO CLOSELY
    *Add your own unique spin to whatever you do.
    01:31 YOUR WHITE BALANCE IS OFF
    *Keep skin tones natural
    01:50 YOU DON'T PRIORITISE LIGHTING
    *Don't mix temperatures
    *Simply wait for the best light
    02:49 YOUR PHOTOS DON'T SAY ANYTHING
    *Find your passion
    03:15 YOUR COMPOSITIONS ARE BORING
    *Streams of light
    *Textures
    *The angle at which you shoot
    *Other elements leading to subject
    03:40 YOUR SUBJECT DOESN'T STAND OUT
    *How angle and focal length affect subject
    *Shallow depth of field
    *Separate subject from background
    ########04:26 SKILL SHARE#######
    05:23 YOUR PHOTOS ARE UNDER- OR OVER-EDITED
    *Learn to edit in a way that suits your style
    *Don't leave photos unedited
    WOW!
    This felt like making summary notes during study time.

  • @HeyThisIsAndrew
    @HeyThisIsAndrew 4 года назад +1

    I loved the outro by Rachel I thought about putting Mango Street on a looped playlist when I went to be last night but I likely would get distracted and binge all of your videos through the night -_-
    Also I have re-watched this video several times today I am self aware to the issues I have with photography... Mainly I don't practice enough and I think all of my photos are crap.
    To fix both of these issues I've been practicing more and using whatever camera I have. I just need to find time to go somewhere where I can find inspiration. Been wanting to go to the Arts District to support some coffee shops that I like or the beach so whenever I find that time I will do so!
    Also congrats on launching a skillshare course next week!

  • @ditto1958
    @ditto1958 Год назад

    Exposure. 20 years ago, after spending a lot of time looking at the photos others posted on forums and trying to figure out why theirs were often better than mine, it hit me: their images had the exposure right. Of course composition, focus, correct shutter speed, depth of field are all important. But generally if you do all those right but exposure is off, pics will not look good.
    20 years later I think I do better at exposure, but to be honest I think it’s because my cameras have better metering now than back then.

    My biggest problem is all of my friends are too camera shy to be my models for practice and I can't find anyone willing to work with someone who's still learning to take better photos. And I get demoralised when none of my friends wanna accompany me for shoots so I end up not going out at all.

    • @sandramichelle76
      @sandramichelle76 4 года назад +1

      You need new friends lol. But seriously just go out and shoot. Just respectfully ask to shoot people without being creepy. You'd be surprised how willing people will be and how cool they'll think it is that someone wants to photograph them.

    • @MrSyngamer
      @MrSyngamer 4 года назад

      @@sandramichelle76 as much as I'd like to its kind of a thing for people in my country to judge (typical asians) and I'm extremely shy with strangers, so it becomes doubly hard for me. I did try it once and the shut down by those I asked was kinda hard on me emotionally so I stuck to shooting friends when they wanted photos, which is pretty much a rare occasion.

    Love the points you provided! What I found most interesting was the piece on editing photos. I’ve sometimes struggled to accept the role of editing photos because it sometimes felt as a different form of art. As a National Geographic worshipper, I sometimes felt that the highest/truest form of photography lied within the ability to capture the beauty and story entirely from the camera. Would love to hear your thoughts!
