1. Get A Camera That Suits You
You need to have a camera that works for the type of photography you do and that does not always mean you need the latest, most expensive camera on the market. Research all the cameras out there and choose one that fits your specific needs. If you are starting your own business, you may want to spend a little more than you would if you are simply wanting to take photos as a hobby. But, like we always say, it is not the size of the lens, it is how you use it.
2. Focus On A Specialty
It is important for your photography to really grow by figuring out what specialty you want to focus on. Of course you can always photograph other things, but having that focus is key to improving and learning the best ways to capture the subject you are focusing on. Do you really love the passion between a bride and groom on their wedding day? Focus on wedding photography. If you really prefer and love the work you do with still objects outdoors, focus on landscape photography. Your specialty is totally up to you and all depends on what your passion is. But with that said, as a photographer, the possibilities are truly endless and you can capture photos of anything that makes you happy.
3. Keep Learning
Whether you have been taking photos for the past year, or you literally just purchased your first camera, always continue to learn. Read blogs or photography books, take classes, talk with other photographers and learn what they do and why they do it. Whether you want to learn about your camera itself, techniques you can use to photograph the subject or objects you enjoy, or even learn more about different programs you can use for editing your work, the industry is always changing which means continuing to learn is an essential part.
4. Take Lots Of Photos
Take lots and lots of photos! Keep practicing and perfecting your craft. Just like with anything else, the more photos you take, the better you will become. Get out and explore new angles or try out a different lens or even scope out new locations that you have never been to and see what it looks like in photos. If you do photography as a hobby, carry your camera with you even if you are not planning on photographing something. You never know what you can find when you are not looking!
