Become a better photographer through 'visual exercise'

As photographers it's very easy to fall down the deep, dark hole of gear lust; or to get lost in reams of techy info, thinking these things will make us better photographers. They may help you learn how to use the tools, but in the same way as owning a paint brush doesn't make you an artist, becoming a great photographer is about so much more.

The following video gives some of my thoughts on how to 'exercise visually', how to open your eyes to the world around, and how to become photo-aware.

I hope it inspires you to shoot more often, with more abandon, and to develop your photography as art, not science.

Enjoy, and share it on if you found it helpful.

These are just some thoughts on how to train yourself to notice the things you see everyday and how to practice photo-awareness as you move around your daily life. I hope it inspires you to shoot more carelessly and to keep your eyes open, even when you don't have a camera in hand.
