For many smartphone photographers, Live Photos are one of those features that get turned on by accident and forgotten about entirely. After all, if you’re trying to take a still photograph, why would you want a tiny video attached to every image?

Most photographers eventually reach a point where their improvement slows down. The exciting gains that came quickly as a beginner become harder to find.

It’s a complicated subject, but it’s imperative for photographers to understand how to express different moods in their images. Related note: only a […]
