The CHEAPEST way to IMPROVE YOUR PHOTOS

Improving your photography is hard, mainly because lots of other photographers give wildly varying advice, based only on their own preferences. I think by far the best way to take more photos YOU like, is to study others you've taken in the past that you're proud of, and work out how to bring those learnings to your future images. That's what I do with my photos in this video :)

Many people on YouTube are "photographers", but James is the real deal. Feel like I'm taking a uni class in photography with every one of his videos. Thank you for all the effort and content you put out there.

I could watch hours more of videos like this where you discuss all aspects of a photo. Please keep it coming!

I'm actually very intrigued by how the birds seem to be stars, but if you get a closer look at the image they turn out to be birds. I feel like it supports the dreamlike feel of the scene, and works into offering more the more you look at the image. You got a fantastic shot there!

[pixlplague]

I find your insight ridiculously interesting. I think your style is very close to what I want to do, and not as much as other photographers and constantly focusing on light and setting up for hours, taking one picture per trip and so on.

For what it's worth, you really help me being confident in my own skills.
Please don't stop throwing out these vids!

You just wanted to show us your best photos didn't you? I know the feeling. I appreciate the tips btw.

13:18 that shot is sick, i feel it perfectly shows how big nature is (the ice burg) in comparison to a human, and shows a side of photography you don't really see by adding the large amount of head room above the ice burg as well

[heathbarlow]

I have taken your advice and looked over what I thought were my best I now have come to the conclusion..
I really need to get better🙏

[derekosborn]

Truly appreciate this. From your thought process on evaluating your favorite shots to your philosophy that you won't be held hostage by worrying where you'll be for sunset and the like.

3:52 is my favorite shot. I've never been to Greenland but looking at the photo I could feel the tension of driving in such sever condition through the driver's eyes. It also adds a layer of mysteriousness to the photo.
The view outside of the windshield is also amazing, l especially like the light around the mountain.

[Boohooooo]

After watching so many photography channels and trying to learn different things I think you are my favorite.

I'd been watching some street photography vloggers then this episode brought my heart rate right down, in the best way. I love how your photos are engaging but give room to breathe and experience ... a light touch, very sympatico.

[billbell]

James, your so right. I spend so much time in my photography trying to get shots other people will like. I need to change that up and get shots I really thanks

[OoviokuoO]

In the beginning of the video i thought i could easily say which image will be my favourite one. But now i adore all of your photos and can't decide. You can be really proud of your work! :)

[onemaninaboat]

Awesome shots James, i really enjoy your philosophy of taking photos being second to having good time!

[Unmatchedbeyond]

I like this approache. Its a good way to find your own style within your photos. We are so used to criticise our own work that we sometimes forget what to save instead of changing.

I'm just an enthusiast and getting my feet wet with different lenses and types of photography. I've noticed people are far friendlier about photos on social media or in your personal life. Post to a photography forum, and the "professionals" come out to shred your photos! You can do anything different or with slightly more effort. The main thing is that you're happy in my opinion.

[JohnsJunk]

Always fun to go back through old photos. Never thought to do it year by year. My past self has taught me a lot.

[broken]

This is what I’ve being doing wrong. Mine are all a bit shit and I’ve been carrying that trait forward.

[PeterDoherty-bm]

Mate your great presenter & photographer. I am just getting back into photography after 20 years+. Technology has changed in fact a little bewildering, however your videos have been and contour to be a great resource for me. Thank you and keep going.
Cheers

[TarotTrismagistus]

The way you explained your work was truly a beautiful artwork in itself.
