As I have no substantial portfolio yet and no money to hire models or make up artists, I often find myself photographing others on the sly or even worse - dolling myself up and getting in front of the camera (que horror).
It's good to
experiment with limited resources,
and using a very basic photo editing program (Windows Photo Viewer is surprisingly capable), you can cook up interesting things.
 |
| Practically the only usable shot from that experiment, but hey, I learn from my mistakes. |
 |
| A bad exposure doesn't necessarily mean it's the end of the world |
 |
| Sometimes ordinary people can make interesting subjects |
 |
| Blurring can end up producing more dynamic pictures |
You'll never become Ansel Adams, Steve McCurry or Juergen Teller without making mistakes, and a purely technical photographer might miss out on the story.
