An Easy Exercise to Improve Your Photography in 2024
Patreon/Support - https://bio.site/alexarmitage
This is a bit later than I had hoped because I got sick! Hopefully it's still relevant enough as we are already 20 days into the new year! This year I wanted to do something slightly different than last because I really pushed myself to try new things this year. I was inspired by new friends, new work, and just trying to see the world differently.
As a photographer who shoots far more often than I ever did before the last couple years, improving or progressing has felt difficult. We fall into these patterns of comfort and start to question how to change or be happy within ourselves as artists. About half way through 2023 I really pushed myself to try new things. I would go out and shoot without filming anything, just so I could figure out exactly what it was that I was looking for.
In this 2023 recap, I hope you walk away with something you can do yourself to hopefully find new inspiration in your own work.
