About this episode
#318 I have not picked up my camera in more than a month and now that lack of momentum has stopped me from continuing to shoot. Thats unacceptable if I wish to become the type of photographer I want to be. So in this episode I share 10 motivational photography tips to help you (and me) to pick back up the camera and get to work! #1: You dont live in a magical location. Get over it #2: Give yourself permission to shoot aimlessly with no end goal #3: Start fresh with a new folder on your computer of the photographer who you are now #4: Capture the mundane parts of everyday life (Start every day taking a photo of your coffee) #5: Shoot in JPG to remove the burden of having to edit your photos after you shoot #6: Go for a walk. The more youre out, the more youll see interesting things to capture. #7: Consume less, Create more. Delete Instagram and Facebook off your phone. Share your photos with CloudSpot.io - http://deliverphotos.com/ #8: Listen to music when shooting to distract your brain while you focus on photography. I listen to Lush Lofi and Brain Food playlists on Spotify #9: Set your camera to shoot in Black and White rather than edit the photo later. This will help you to see better compositions and focus on moment. #10: If you have multiple cameras, sell one and buy a photo book. A photo book will inspire you to shoot in just 3-4 pages. Something scrolling instagram for an hour cant even do. Grab your free 52 Lightroom Presets at http://freephotographypresets.com/ Connect with Raymond!
