Every time you make a new photo, you are innovating in your photography. Then the goal is for you to keep innovating by making new photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Harness your dissatisfaction in a positive way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am never fully satisfied with my photography. And perhaps that is a good thing, because it actually gives me the motivation to go out and make new photos. And the goal isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t to make one perfect photo that will withstand the jaws of time, but rather, keep up the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the practical thought is this: if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not easily satisfied in your photography, consider that a blessing rather than a curse. The question then becomes how can you channel this dissatisfaction in a positive and productive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. See your photos differently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We photographers love the visual. We love visual innovation, and to see the embodied world anew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some thing I personally love to do is to view my photos on my iPad, and whenever I see a Composition I like, I just sketch it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Apply your photographic style and approach to different contexts and places<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you love street photography and the street photography approach, how can you apply your street photography style to wedding photography or shooting nature?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, I realize I actually really like hiking. There is something very Zen and calming about hiking and nature, and being away from the city. Therefore I try to apply my street photography aesthetics to nature, that is photographing Cindy, photographing Seneca, photographing myself, or even shooting strangers during hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is cross pollinating your photographic style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Apply different filters to your photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
