3 Simple Habits that will transform your photography

Start finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Why do I rarely discuss the technicalities of photography in my videos? You'll be surprised to learn (not) that I don't think they're the most useful thing.
Getting a technically perfect photo that's not compelling in any other respect is a waste of technical ability.
In this video, I’m breaking down the three fundamental skills you actually need to become a better photographer and none of them need you to be holding a camera.
I’m taking a walk through a local industrial estate, a place most people would dismiss as "boring", to show you how to find high-contrast black and white images, leading lines, and compelling narratives in the most mundane surroundings. From the geometry of a new-build, metal-clad box to the juxtaposition of a soft plant against a hard chain-link fence, I’ll show you why your gear and your location matter far less most people would think.

And remember, our choices are a reflection of ourselves, so take the time to make sure you're reflecting the right story!
It is inspiring, as some of us cant go to far away from home and we can only photograph locally.
Only last week I went round an industrial estate that I used to work in, I got some decent photographs.
All I did was slow down and think about it.
Thanks for you efforts, in showing us all of these things.
Great advice! I’d like to share something I recently heard that I found to be quite profound. Photography isn’t really about photographing objects. It’s about arranging visual elements inside a frame.

Not saying a photographer can’t always learn something new on the technical side no matter their experience but the longer you do it, those moments are more spaced out. Once you learn the new technical topic, it’s just a piece in the toolbox that depends on you being inspired to actually use it.
