WHAT TIPS CAN YOU SHARE WITH READERS
FOR DEVELOPING THEIR STYLE?
• Experiment with different approaches to
composition. For example, try breaking some of
the fundamental rules, and be aggressive and
committed to your approach.
• Try not to be overly influenced by other
photographers, but certainly allow them to
ignite some ideas of your own which will assist in
developing your own style.
...AND SOME TIPS FOR PHOTOGRAPHING
WILDLIFE?
• Don’t be afraid to shoot subjects on overcast or
(better still) rainy days for even and soft lighting,
some drama, and to avoid harsh shadows on your
subject.
• Get out there as much as possible. Every venture
out is an opportunity to capture that special shot.
Don’t be afraid to visit the same spot more than
once. You never know what you’ll find on another
day.
• Keep your shutter speed above 1000 and your ISO
as low as possible. Shooting with an F8 aperture
is ideal for wildlife photography. If it compromises your
ISO too much, open it up. It is better to have a wide
aperture than to have a crazy high ISO.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT YOU
AND YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY?
I am currently undertaking my third and final year of a
New Zealand Diploma in Photography. All going well, I
should finish October this year!
