Only show your best work.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t upload \u00e2\u20ac\u0153filler\u00e2\u20ac\u009d photos to your social media accounts to keep people \u00e2\u20ac\u0153engaged.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Only upload a photo if you think it is killer.<\/p>\n

When it comes to your photography books or projects, make each shot count. People judge you by your worst photograph. So make sure that you only show your best.<\/p>\n

How do you know what is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153killer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and what is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153filler\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in your photos?<\/p>\n

For me, I know what my \u00e2\u20ac\u0153killer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d shots are by the following: I look at the photograph, imagine like someone else shot it, and see if I love it or not. Another strategy: photos that I like even more<\/em> over time tend to be my killer shots. A \u00e2\u20ac\u0153killer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d shot is also obviously very good to you \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need a second-opinion on whether you think it is good or not.<\/p>\n

How about a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153filler\u00e2\u20ac\u009d shot? A shot that you are impartial to. A shot that if it got deleted or thrown away, you wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind so much. A \u00e2\u20ac\u0153filler\u00e2\u20ac\u009d photograph doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a strong personal tie to you.<\/p>\n

Discover your best photos afterwards<\/h2>\n

You can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t control whether or not you get a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153killer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d shot. I find the discovery of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153killer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d shots happens during the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153editing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d phase (when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking through your photos after<\/em> you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve taken photos).<\/p>\n

#allkillernofiller<\/h2>\n

As a simple assignment, look through all the photos you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve taken \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and distill your entire portfolio to your 5 most \u00e2\u20ac\u0153killer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d shots \u00e2\u20ac\u201d what would they be?<\/p>\n
