3 Photography Hacks That Will Help You Take Better Pictures

January 25, 2021

Ask any­one in my fam­i­ly… I am not a patient per­son. I am always look­ing for life hacks (includ­ing pho­tog­ra­phy hacks!). I think that most of us want to see quick results when try­ing new things, and I am cer­tain­ly no dif­fer­ent. I want things done yes­ter­day, if not before. Today, I am going to give you 3 Pho­tog­ra­phy Hacks to help you reach your pho­tog­ra­phy goal even faster!

1. Take it in small steps. 

I see my stu­dents jump­ing all over the place and want­i­ng to learn EVERYTHING. Tak­ing your jour­ney and break­ing it into small steps makes it so much more man­age­able, mak­ing it doable and mak­ing you more suc­cess­ful. There is a log­i­cal path to fol­low when learn­ing pho­tog­ra­phy, and learn­ing in the cor­rect order means you are doing things cor­rect­ly. Devot­ing a small amount of time upfront to cre­at­ing that learn­ing path is a great way to make sure you are off to the right start and don’t miss any­thing. Find a learn­ing cur­ricu­lum and stick with it.

2. Utilize powerful online resources to learn all you can. 

Your first step should be learn­ing but in the cor­rect way, and real­ize that edu­ca­tion is the most impor­tant step. Every time I want to learn some­thing, my kids tell me to google it or “go on YouTube.” NO!!! I don’t want to spend end­less hours search­ing for things or watch­ing a YouTube video that does not help me learn what I want to learn! 

I want to have some­one tell me step by step how to do some­thing, that’s why I love online cours­es. They are put togeth­er in a pur­pose­ful way to help you learn and learn quick­ly~ ( I have a great one here. 😉) This Begin­ners Pho­tog­ra­phy Essen­tials Pro­gram will walk you through learn­ing your cam­era in a step by step, pur­pose­ful man­ner, and what’s even bet­ter, you can get feed­back from me. I guar­an­tee you will be shoot­ing bet­ter pic­tures in no time. 

3. Commit!

The most important of photography hacks!

Com­mit to hav­ing your cam­era in your hands dai­ly. This is by far the most impor­tant thing you can do to improve your pho­tog­ra­phy, and it does­n’t take that much time each day. Pho­tog­ra­phy is just like any oth­er hob­by or sport, for that mat­ter. You don’t go out to play your week­ly ten­nis game with­out hav­ing prac­ticed. You can’t expect to get amaz­ing pho­tographs if you only pick up your cam­era once in a while. 

Pho­tog­ra­phy takes mus­cle and brain mem­o­ry to solid­i­fy all of the things you are learn­ing, so prac­tice is vital! Keep your cam­era where you can just grab it and go. Take it on walks, to the park with your kids, and just take pho­tos inside. Mak­ing it part of your day, every day will help solid­i­fy all of the new things that you are learning!

Take advan­tages of these easy-to-fol­low pho­tog­ra­phy hacks, check out my Begin­ners Pho­tog­ra­phy Essen­tials Pro­gram and watch your pho­tog­ra­phy improve in no time! Join our Face­book com­mu­ni­ty to get answers to all your pho­tog­ra­phy ques­tions and share your lat­est projects! Can’t wait to see your snaps!

Cheers~
