I am currently working on a series of posts on writing for digital and print magazines. One of my biggest goals for my first few posts is to get some face shots/sketches done for these magazines. In the meantime, I am doing a series of posts on my “slapshot photography” method.
This is essentially a way to shoot from the hip like a professional photographer. Since the camera is always on and the subject is usually moving, the end result is always smooth and natural. You can start the process by taking a series of photos with a black and white camera that you can store in your computer’s photo gallery.
I also plan to go back to the black and white camera I used for the first couple of posts and do some more slapshot photography. I’m hoping to have some of it done by the end of this semester’s classes.
I was talking to my brother the other day about the process of getting good at photography. The way he sees it, one of the best parts of photography is that you don’t have to learn everything from scratch. You can just go back and do things the old fashioned way. When I was in the photography class we did, it seemed to take forever for us to get really good at the subject matter. But when I took the class again this semester I have noticed a drastic improvement.
The big question is whether or not this was a class that was just a “fun” way to learn your craft. The way I see it, if you can learn something like that, then I think photography is really, really good. It’s not all that hard to learn, you just have to be willing to pay for class time. And for those who believe that you need to master everything, I think you need to take your time and keep at it.
Photography was not always considered a class I studied for. I did not have a formal photography class when I took my first class with Photoshop. I took a separate photography class in the spring of my senior year to learn about the new crop-sensor digital cameras, and that’s where I learned about the many different types of photography. For now, I am just going to put my money where my mouth is and say that I am completely serious about learning more about photography.
A class you should definitely be studying is still photography. Many of the new crop-sensor cameras are great for taking landscapes, taking portraits, and many other types of photography. So if you ever want to take a class at a photography school, they are definitely for you.
What I want to know now, is what I want to do with my life and what I want to study. I have a lot of ideas of what I am probably going to do with my life so I am not sure what I want to do and if I should even study photography, but I will look into it.
The way I approach photography over the past year has been to study and practice as much as I can. I’ve been doing a lot of things on my own to try and get my photography skills up, such as taking portrait and landscape pictures. I also took a photography class at a school called The School of Art & Design. The people in the class were really good and I really liked them so I think I will definitely go back and take more classes.
And if I should even take a class in photography, but I will definitely look into it.
