7 Daily Exercise for PHOTOGRAPHERS

7. Post a single image every day

Rather that shooting in a sporadic fashion and positing images to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Instagram or any other social networking or image sharing site as and when you feel like it, try committing to shooting at least one image and posting only one shot every day.

This will encourage your powers of creativity, helping you to find novel subjects and explore new areas or genres of photography.

It will also mean that you have to critically assess each image to identify the best shot from that day to post.

Wherever you post your image, make it known what you are doing as this will underline your commitment.

It’s also often a good idea to request constructive criticism to help you see your shots from another viewpoint and improve as a photographer.
