Coming to you from Karl Taylor, this helpful video features five professionals discussing the best advice they would give to a new photographer. Personally, I thought the best piece of advice was knowing the technical side of your craft inside and out. If you do not understand your camera settings and the like deeply and without hesitation, you will devote brainpower to figuring them out during a shoot, and that will distract you from interacting with your subject. It also looks rather unprofessional. Beyond that, it is crucial to have a strong command of how to properly run a business. Plenty of talented photographers sadly fail in the professional realm simply because they are unprepared for the aspects of a photography business that don’t involve being behind the camera. Check out the video above for lots of helpful tips.Â
