New Photographer Tips by O'Kelley Photography

Starting out in photography can be nerve-racking, to say the least. With so many different styles and techniques to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide where to begin. But the truth is, the best way to improve your skills and build confidence is to simply get out and shoot.


One of the biggest hurdles for new photographers is finding inspiration. It's easy to get caught up in trying to come up with the perfect idea or concept for a photo shoot, but the truth is that sometimes the best shots happen spontaneously. Rather than racking your brain on what to take a picture of, simply pick up your camera and start shooting what's around you. You'll be surprised at what you can capture when you allow yourself to be open and observant.



Another key aspect of building confidence as a photographer is practice. The more you shoot, the more comfortable you will become with your camera and your own creative style. This is true regardless of what type of photography you're interested in - whether it's portrait photography, landscape photography, or something else entirely. The more you practice, the more you will learn about things like lighting, composition, and perspective, and the more confident you will become in your abilities.


Of course, it's important to remember that everyone starts somewhere. You don't have to be a professional photographer or have the best equipment to take great photos. In fact, some of the most iconic photographs in history were taken with simple, inexpensive cameras. The important thing is to keep shooting and to keep pushing yourself to try new things and experiment with different techniques.



In conclusion, starting out in photography can be nerve-racking, but the best way to overcome that is to simply get out and shoot. Don't worry about coming up with the perfect idea or concept - just start shooting what's around you. Practice is also key, regardless of what style of photography you're interested in. The more you shoot, the more confident you will become in your abilities. Remember, everyone starts somewhere - so don't be afraid to embrace your own creative journey and keep pushing yourself to grow and improve.
