I am looking for structured assignments which will help me improve my photography. I’m an experienced enthusiast - over 20 years of shooting - but I feel a bit stale recently like I’ve not learned anything new or looked at anything differently. Is there any assignment you have done which you felt moved the dial for you?
Posing. I shit you not, posing.
Most of what I learned when it comes to photography, from composition to lighting, was learned in a photoshoot as a model.
I kept an eye on how the photographer was working. How he told me to pose. The angles. The lighting. And in the end, he allowed me to watch as he edited the shoot in Lightroom.
I didn’t know much about photography before that. Just the basics. After? Oh. Man.
