Description

Ready to become the worst photographer ever, artistically speaking? We've got your back. In this spicy and sarcastic follow-up to our business edition, we're diving into all the ways you can fail spectacularly from a creative standpoint. We're talking about staying in your lane, shooting without a plan, and the vital importance of copying others without adding your own flair. Of course, we’re actually here to help you do the exact opposite and sharpen your artistic skills.

Expect to Learn:

• Why you should never try new things like video or drone work if you're already good at photos
• Why shooting on rapid-fire with zero intent is the fastest way to better images
• How to perfectly replicate other artists' work without the burden of developing your own unique style
• That the more effort you put into getting a shot, the better the photo is, and how angry you should get when no one else understands that.
• Why you should constantly compare your work to the top 0.1% of photographers online and quit when you don’t measure up.
