Breaking bad habits can transform your photography. In this episode, we share some of the habits we’ve ditched, from overshooting and winging it to over-editing, and how those changes have improved our craft. Packed with personal stories, practical tips, and a few laughs, this episode is your guide to becoming a more intentional and efficient photographer.

Expect to Learn:

How to shoot with intention, rather than capturing everything in sight
Why you should create a detailed shot list instead of always winging it
The value of dialling back on heavy-handed edits and editing more subtly
How to focus on high-impact tasks instead of spreading yourself too thin
The importance of slowing down for better results
