"Stop reading. Go and take photos!!!
*And win a photo workshop while you're at it. See details at the end...*
All kinds of people join our ProProgram looking to start a photo business or improve their photography dramatically over a year. It's a great year of learning, photo and personal development.
Sometimes, though, I have to tear people away from reading about photography to actually go and practise photography!
Really.
So, in this month's Exposed! photo newsletter we look at the easiest way to get you taking more (and better) pictures.
Shot with my laptop while twirling at the studio - I got dizzy experimenting!
Tactile Learning
One of the most effective ways to learn is tactile learning - or learning by doing. Most people learn best by doing something. Reading and listening usually have less effective results.
So here are some ways to get you learning better by doing more:
- Buy a cheap camera that can go everywhere with you.
- Bring the camera everywhere and take pictures of everything!
- Let curiosity get the best of you. Try new things.
- Allow mistakes to happen - and learn from them.
- Take an interactive, practical photography class.
- Critique your work.
- Set aside time every day or week to take photos.
More adventurous...
And the most important tip of this newsletter:
- STOP reading this newsletter - now! Go and take a photo with an SLR/phone/vintage Polaroid.
Stop!

We will be selecting the winner based on technical merit (small %), quirky fun (more marks) and how quickly the photos appear!
