Hi everyone. I would like some advice :) I come from a background in fashion/editorial photography and I’m satisfied with my works in this field, but recently I started taking my camera with me during my hikes and I’m never happy with the photos I bring home. They always have something “off”: I find them almost amatorial, sometimes plain. How can I improve? Can someone advise me some good resources to learn about this topic? Thanks!

    No matter the genre, photography is all about the light.

    When shooting fashion, you generally have 100% control over that. I assume you’re using stuff like reflectors, strobes, etc.

    When you’re shooting landscapes, you have 0% control over that. You need to be there when the light is good. What matters is time of day, time of year, the weather, etc. That generally means going out before dawn or after dusk or in “bad” weather.

      Thank you for your input. I guess that’s one big problem for me, as I’m used to being able to control the light
