I recently watched tutorial lecture for an inspiration boost in lockdown, and where I knew most of the important key things that he had gleaned over his rather badass 30 decade career, a few things he said resonated with me.
One being a reminder that - You don’t need special photographic equipment to take an amazing shot.
All my life I thought the best thing I could do for my career was to have the best and most modern photography equipment.
And of course having these items is extremely helpful and necessary for professional photographers.
But the reality is that in the real world, photographs only need one thing to be remarkable.
Good light.
That’s it. How you choose your light is up to you. The composition of a photograph is far more important than the megapixels.
This image was taken on an iPhone last summer. I hurt my shoulder and needed respite from my cumbersome Canon.
So now, I’d like to pay some of Greg’s simple but important advice forward and urge everyone; novices (and professionals who were snobs like me) who have something as simple as iPhone camera, to play with light, shadow and composition.
Initially it takes practice and patience if you’re not used to it but you’ll be surprised what you can accomplish if you put some creative thought into it.
Granted the images I took aren’t nearly as high resolution as I’m used to, I can honestly say I’m so happy I used my phone that day.
It has made me less of a snob, more open to other creative processes and more inspired than I have been in a long time.
