Do you ever have trouble finding things to photograph? Yeah me too.
Not being able to find an interesting subject is very discouraging. But I’d like to share what I have found helps me when I’m in a creative slump.
What helps me the most is combining hobbies and interests with photography. I encourage you guys to try this. For example, I really like hiking in edition to photography. So recently on one of our nicer days, I went for a hike. I took this opportunity to take pictures and I found it easy to find subjects and get good shots. Here are a couple of my photos from the top of Mt. Tom in Holyoke.
Quick photography tip! If you haven’t noticed, when I’m taking a picture of a view, I like to have different perspectives in the shot. By this I mean including a tree or cliff that’s close to me with the view in the background. I find it adds a lot more depth to your pictures. But if you want simpler pictures that will limit viewers attention to the view, those pictures also come out great!
If you don’t like hiking, don’t worry, you’re not limited to getting out and being active just to take some photos. You can photograph other interests. Obsessed with your animal? Take tons of photos of them.
You can also use photography to try and gain new hobbies and interests. Use it as an excuse to go outdoors or to goto a new event. You can also meet new people and join a photography club.
You can also use photography to draw attention to issues around you. For example, take pictures of homeless animals in shelters to spread awareness for the need of funds or adoptions. You can take photos of these animals and post them for people to see and you may even find an animal a new forever home.
The uses for photography are limitless. So what will you photograph today?
