Issue IV is now live!
This weekly issue is about learning to recognize what is actually holding a photograph back before assuming the answer is another purchase. It looks at the difference between problems caused by technique, light, focus, timing, composition, processing, and the times when gear really is the limitation.
Read Issue IV
The accompanying Camera Date, Before You Buy Anything Else, takes the lesson from Issue IV and puts it into practice. Instead of changing everything when a photograph feels weak, you’ll slow down, identify the single biggest problem, and work on that one thing while protecting what is already working.
Start Issue IV Camera Date
I’d love to hear what stood out to you in this issue, whether the Camera Date changed the way you diagnose a photograph, or whether you discovered that something you thought was a gear problem really wasn’t.
And after you complete the Camera Date, share your final image and tell us what you changed, what you left alone, and what you learned along the way.
