Photography Wisdom

Some tips I've picked up through the years...

This section is a constant or evolving work in progress and sometimes just notes I've added for self reflection in my photography....


  • Look. See. Communicate. 
  • Find the Light!
  • Control light like your work depends on it - it does.  
  • Open shade - keep models in shade and use the surrounding environment to create quality light. - think natural reflectors. 
  • Don’t Take photos, MAKE Photos! 
  • Look THROUGH your image - how’s the image foreground to backgrounds? Then don’t forget the Middle ground. 
  • Layers & separation = depth. (The elements within). Create Depth. 
  • Think of Unique Perspectives! How can you photograph this with a unique perspective?
  • Focus on what you love!
  • Remember - WIDES. MEDIUMS. TIGHTS. DETAILS. (capture the entire scene at play)
  • For Portraits  • Engage with your subject. Make them feel a part of the process.  Don’t waste subjects time. • What angle are you shooting from. • What is the mood and emotion of the shoot. Use Mood boards. • What aperture will you shoot at.
