Episode notes
Taste Trumps Gear
- Taste is the real differentiator for photographers, not just technical skill or gear.
- A clear personal perspective attracts the right clients more than a huge portfolio.
Use An Antenna And Your Filter
- Keep an "antenna" tuned to trends but always filter what you see through your own experience.
- Apply your personal filter so you don't just copy trends; make them yours.
Scroll With Intention
- Practice intentional scrolling: set aside dedicated time to look for inspiration.
- Organize saves into folders by theme so your visual library becomes a useful resource.
