/p/ = the cult of gear

You know what's stopping you from taking better pictures? Your lack of talent.

When you take pictures, do you do cringey brainlet things like look at geometric shapes and light and shadow and contrast and rule of threes and golden ratio? if so kys

Look for situations. Look for stories. Look for people doing human things. Look inside yourself - you might find an emotion between pornhub fapping sessions. Analyze that emotion. Analyze what series of events in your life brought you to where you are now. Think of how that happens in other people's lives.

People-watch. Just sit on a park bench and watch people all day. Think about what they're like, what their lives are like. If you do it and think "I don't know" then keep doing it until you can. Most importantly, leave your precious gear at home.

When you take a picture, forget all the stupid shit you've read on the internet and focus on taking a picture of a person in a situation which clearly communicates the state of mind or soul of that person.
