Steps to improve your photography

When I started learning photography I asked one of my mentor's what did it take to improve. He said, take more pictures. 

 

  • Shoot (take pictures) often
  • Learn to shoot (take pictures) with a purpose (find a project that's personal to you)
  • I'll say it again, find a personal project
  • Personal projects lead to great things
  • Self Edit, self edit and self edit
  • Share your photos online, however don't empty your memory card and put it online. Trust me on this one. Be selective and remember...SELF EDIT
  • Share your best work but SHARE YOUR WORK. So many people hear this and become afraid to share their work
  • Print your work
  • Learn about photography
  • Read a book on photography
  • Take a class
  • Online videos- Lynda.com, Kelbyone.com, You Tube
  • The most important part of the photographic process is you. Invest in yourself. Instead of buying new gear invest that money in learning. Yes, photo workshops are expensive but the value is so worth it. 

Congratulations Brianna Berry

On Saturday June 13, 2015 my daughter Brianna Berry graduated high school. She graduated from Hampton High School's "The International Baccalaureate Programme" with highest honors, National Honor Society member and finished number "6" in her class. She never missed the honor roll through elementary, middle and high school. She accomplished this while dancing (mostly ballet) 5-6 days a week. She has been a member of Ballet Virginia International since 2009 and a member of Ballet Virginia International Performing Company since 2011. 

Congratulations Brianna
