what does it take to become a better photographer
welcome to my channel here I post my travel short films but I also make video
just like this one where I share my thoughts about photography and
filmmaking so if you're here for the first time it might be a good idea to
subscribe we all like the technical aspect of photography and in fact in my
last week video I enjoyed sharing camera setting
information editing techniques Lightroom workflow and as a matter of fact when I
post and share my images I don't mind to share also the technical data the
shutter speed I used the aperture the lens I use, understanding and knowing all
this technical information is it going to make us better photographers
how many technical tutorial are we watching we all want to master our
technical skills we want to know everything about our cameras and about
the cameras we you would like to have and of course there is nothing wrong
with it but I also recognize that all this is just instrumental these are our
tools my intention here is not to preach any wisdom to anybody but I'm actually
using the making of this video to talk to myself do I need a new camera to
become a better photographer do I need to master some new techniques and I
really need to say I don't think so so if camera and techniques are just
tools what do they serve for what can I do with that
so I need to stop and think what is photography for me photography is art it is
the expression of my vision it is imaginative creation and it is also my
favorite form of communication and if I think about all these it becomes easy to
realize that more pixels will not help me to have better vision my imagination
will not improve if I use a superior lens so what does it take well in my
opinion the most important thing is to pay attention pay attention to what you
like pay attention to what you feel pay attention to what you want to say listen
to my own voice what makes me happy what makes me sad put my own feelings in my
images and in my story why I took a photograph should always be more
important than how
what do you think what really matters in your photography let me know in the
comments below I love to know your thoughts in the end unfortunately I
believe that becoming a better photographer is a lot harder than
learning new techniques in fact this process will never stop since it is
about understanding more about ourselves and life around us and it is difficult
to shut down all the noise that surrounds us and be able to really pay
attention and listen and I'm not saying that I will stop learning about
photography techniques and technicalities learning means progress
progressing cannot be wrong but what might be wrong instead is to stop there
without searching deeper for our why our vision maybe I will become a better
photographer when there will be more people asking why I took that photograph
then people asking me how making this video definitely helped me bringing
back the focus to what really matters leave me a comment if you want to see
more videos like this and also if you didn't yet maybe this is the right time
to subscribe thanks for watching see in the next video
