To develop your imagination
If you only think about taking photos when the opportunity comes or when an event is presented that deserves to be immortalized, try to reverse your point of view! What if you start looking for interesting things to photograph? You do not have to wait for the occasion, but you can provoke it yourself.
For example, you can go for a walk with the sole objective of progressing in photography. You will see the city, landscapes, scenes or people differently. You will be more attentive to what is happening around you and you will see more potential subjects.
You can also take different points of view . Do not just keep your point of view, but try to take a photo at the height of a child, a giant, a dog, an ant. This will multiply the field of possibilities ! A scene or landscape can change dramatically depending on the height from which it is photographed.

And even if you don’t have a camera handy, you can always think about how to take photos . On the subway going to work, walking down the street or shopping, you can choose a subject and imagine the photo you could take.
- From what angle?
- From what point of view?
- With what settings?
A mental snapshot can help you progress too!
Do not hesitate to take a walk through places that you are not used to. This is the best way to develop your imagination and your ideas about photography. A forest that you do not know, a new neighborhood … The environments that you do not know will be perfect to practice.
Lastly, don’t be afraid to make a fool of yourself. Photography sometimes requires you to adopt inopportune postures , such as lying on the floor, perching on a wall … You will be surprised to see that no one is scared and that you will have more possibilities to take better photos and it will allow you to see the world from another angle .
But is the profession of photographer still viable ? To develop your imagination
