How to Have Productive Photo Trips with Your Photographer Friends |
|
|
Photography trips with your friends are always wonderfully fun, at least from a social standpoint. Few things are better than spending the day afield, talking and hunting for photos, taking breaks and enjoying the sunshine, finding interesting little roadside places to eat and quiet places to take a nap when the day has worn on a little too long. But, speaking from personal experience, photo trips
with friends are not always the most productive way to bring home lots of new potential image files to work with. A lot can happen on these trips and much of it will serve as a distraction or obstruction to your creative process. At the end of the day, though you enjoyed yourself, you may find yourself unhappy with the new collection.
Fortunately, there are a few ways to make sure these trips are more productive. Let me share some of the things I’ve learned over the years and then you’ll be able to better organize these outings!

is impossible to envision the entirety of a person just by viewing one of his or her productions. The question is, how do you insert that special something, that bit of extra that the viewer can take away from the image? Here are a few of my thoughts on the matter. |
