How to Become a Better Photographer

I think what we want is to become “better” photographers. What does that really mean?

1. Becoming a more productive photographer

The first thought is in order to become a “better” photographer, it means to become a more productive photographer, which literally means to produce more photos.

What does that mean? In a single given day, how many photos do you shoot and make?

For example the other day I shot 850 photos in a single day, just in the boring suburbs.

How did I do this? Simple idea: set your camera to manual focus, and set the focus at .3 m, and just shoot a lot, everything with that pre-focused distance.

2. Compositions which excite you?

Another big thing about becoming a “better“ photographer is seeing and making compositions which are more interesting and exciting to you.

For example, the ability to see layers and photos. Also, shooting photos which are unexpectedly interesting.
