None of us are perfect, and we all have images in which we wish we could have corrected a mistake or taken a different creative route. This great video examines the idea of taking the time to return to locations to fix past mistakes and to improve your photography.
Coming to you from Chris Sale, this excellent video examines the idea of returning to past locations to correct your mistakes and to create better images. I am a big fan of returning to locations multiple times simply for the benefit of practicing the ability to create multiple looks from a single subject, a skill that will benefit any photographer. This allows you to break free from your typical creative tendencies and become a more proficient, versatile photographer, which in turn will allow you to step into less ideal conditions and shooting scenarios and still be able to thrive and create successful photos. Sale takes it a step further by returning specifically to a location to correct a past mistake. This allows him to not only evaluate his errors in an abstract sense, but to actually put those lessons into practice, which can go a long way in improving one’s work. Check out the video above for Sale’s full thoughts.
