When looking at all the photos online and in social media, it can sometimes get overwhelming to see all the talented people with all their masterpieces. And with all the different style choices, it’s easy to try copying everyone you see. Early on in my photography, I found myself constantly switching from style to style trying to copy the most famous photographers. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad to do this, but at some point, you need to find your style. And what I found is that this takes time. Don’t be stressed about not having your own style at the beginning or even after a while of shooting. One of the most important things about photography is “Do you like your photos?” If you don’t like your photos, it doesn’t matter who does. At the end of the day, if you are satisfied with your work, that’s really all that matters. And the thing about social media is there are so many people out there, and there is bound to be someone that shares the same interests as you that will love to see the photos you take. Don’t worry about what others think is a good photo. It’s YOUR STYLE! Happy Shooting! 📸✨📱

How do pros take so many good photos? Well first off, a great photo is subjective. You decide what you like, and do that. If no one else but you likes the photo you took, it is a good photo. Second, you are not seeing all of the deleted photos that photographers don’t post or show others. There are even times when I get done taking photos, and I don’t like any of the ones I took. The reality is… you just need to take more photos. If you don’t find any that you like, take more. If I can find one photo that I’m proud of out of all the ones I took in a day, I would call that a successful day. And here’s the thing, if I don’t get any “good” photos in a day or even a week, I still learn so many things (even if it’s what NOT to do🙃). Like Dori would say,” Just keep shooting. Just keep shooting. Just keep shoot…” You know what I’m saying. Eventually, you’ll get “That One Shot,” and you’ll think the entire journey was worth it 😊. Happy shooting! 📱✨
