I also highlight how aperture isn’t just about exposure, but a creative tool for isolating subjects and shaping your image. Plus, I cut thr...

Send us a text We all make mistakes, and this week I run through 6 common mistakes photographers make and talk through how to handle them: 1. Poor Composition Centred subject: Placing the subject in the centre of the image. Try the rule of thirds as a way of creating a more interesting image. Cluttered backgrounds: Distracting elements in the background take attention away from the subject. Be a ‘Visual Storyteller’ and look at the whole scene before pressing the shutter button. 2.
