THE BIG IDEAS

• Prioritize Experimentation: Frequent creative and technical experimentation accelerates growth and helps you discover your style—don’t fear mistakes, they’re vital stepping stones.
• Focus on Finding Joy in the Process: Making yourself happy with your photos will keep your passion alive. Success follows genuine enjoyment, not merely technical perfection.
• Take Inspiration, Then Build Your Own Voice: Learning from others is great, but personal growth comes from adapting and eventually developing your own signature approach.
• Make Time for Photography: Don’t just wait for “free time;” intentionally create opportunities to shoot, even amid a busy schedule. Consistency is more important than convenience.
