Practice:

1. Eyes

Photograph portraits, and shoot lots of different photos — inspecting the eyes.

My curiosity:

What is the “ideal” way to photograph someone’s eyes?

2. Red

Red as the color of blood, passion, and danger.

3. Work the scene

Never just shoot 1-2 photos of the scene. Always work the scene, by shooting lots of photos of any given scene. You can choose your favorite photo later.

If you’re not sure which photo is your best, upload your images to arsbeta.com for feedback and critique.

4. Shoot all your meals

You are what you eat. Perhaps the photos of the photos we shoot are a reflection of us (food self-portraits?)

The benefit of photographing your meals:

Re-living the positive feelings associated with those meals.

5. Shoot your selfie and loved ones

Shoot selfies of yourself, and start your own #cindyproject

Make the photos a dance between you and your loved one, and make it personal.

Conclusion

Photography is one of the most beautiful forms of self-expression. Never stop shooting, exploring, and pushing your visual strength to new levels!
