>>4345349Plus it takes time to create and build your photo style. You will learn what you: like, don't like, how to position, how to compose, how to shoot more manually, and how to edit all through messing around and taking lots of photos.
Look at lots of other peoples photos too. Look at what they do that you like and see how you can replicate it. "Hey he is squatting down in that photo to get a lower angle, I think that looks good." So then you go out and try taking photos at that angle. Experiment and have fun.
Don't take all the criticism too hard, photography is also objective... like that "people" guy earlier in the thread lol.
But that also doesn't mean don't listen to it. Try going out and taking photos of different environments if you can, experiment with different scenes and angles. Try things you're not comfortable with, lets say taking portraits of your friends whilst you hang out. Maybe have a challenge where you can only shoot inside your house or only with a 50mm lens. Those kinda challenges make it fun and you will learn too.
The more you expand your "portfolio" of various experiences when taking photos, the better overall your photos will get. As you will learn from everything.
Legit my best advice is just take pictures, lots of pictures, and experiment.
