What is your passion? Let it fuel your journey!

Learning photography, like anything, is hard work. It takes a lot of passion and drive to push through the difficulties when learning a new skill. Everyone has a different style or type of photography that excites them. For some it might be nature photography. For others it might specifically be photographing birds. Some people want to get awesome photos of kids or grandkids. Many want to shoot sports, either of their kids, or of others, playing.

Look for what you like to photograph best and let that be your go to subject matter when working through difficult skills to learn. That will help you to push through the hard times and work to get better. Once you start to master your skills though make sure you don't get stuck in a rut. Find other subjects or styles that are a little bit different but also interest you. Maybe you get to know someone else that loves photography as much as you do. Go out shooting together. Let them help you expand into their interest, and you do the same for them. Share thoughts and ideas together. If you want to start shooting like say fashion photography find people that want to get into modeling and see if they will be willing to work with you for copies of the images for their portfolio. There are a lot of people that love to be in front of the camera as much as you will love being behind it.
