Think beyond the photography gearDo not just think about the Photography equipment or gear, all the time if you wish to improve your photographs and photography skills in general. Think beyond the equipment. Shift your attention from your gear to the subject. Content is the king. Content is the king. You can understand why I wrote this twice. If your content is not good, it won't make a good photograph, however strong it may be technically. So don't release the shutter without a reason. How you present the content. What you show and what you don't. Everything exists there but when you take a picture or I should say when you take a good picture you only show what you want to show. All that is visible does not make for a good photograph. only include what is relevant and adds to what you wish to convey.

while shooting for a hair product, I explored different variations and permutation to achieve a shot which was not too conventional.
So next time when you like a particular photograph, before you ask "what equipment did you use? " Try to explore and discuss why and how it was shot. Try to understand the thought process of the photographer and not just the equipment. The Photography gear is important but the skills involved in using it are far more significant.
