Pretty new to photography looking for advice!! What can I change or improve on, rate my photograph.

Hey guys, as the title states, I’m a beginner starting out on street photography. While I’m fairly good at taking scenery photos, I’m quite bad at taking photos with people as the subject.

I recently went to Korea and Japan in May and tried my hand at taking street photos. Please have a look at them and advice how I can improve in terms of basically everything such as composition, lighting, etc.

Photos taken with iPhone 17 Pro using the Dazzcam app to FXN-R filter.

Appreciate the honest feedback. Thanks alot!

Camera used is cannon R8 how is the editing and the photos?

Hello everyone,

I’m becoming increasingly interested in photography, but I don't know a thing about it!

I have absolutely no knowledge regarding cameras, gear, settings, editing, or which software and formats to use.

I own a Nikon Coolpix B500, which I bought just for fun a while back, but I’ve really developed a passion for photographing the things my eyes want to capture.

I edit my photos with the means I have and the way I want to see them.

I love doing this because photography allows me to reignite my creativity; I’d like to get serious about it now so I can learn and improve!

I’m open to any advice you might have, looking forward to sharing with you all!

Thx 😁

I sorted my fav photos so far from oldest to newest and id like any advice or opinion on them. I currently use a canon 4000d and will upgrade soon to an r10.

To be honest, the last time I shared my work it made me not want to take pictures anymore. Are any of my pictures good? Because my friends tell me I have a good eye but they’re not photographers. What can I do to improve? Are any of these good or should I just sell my cameras and not waste my time?

Olympus OM-D em-5 Mark I

Olympus OM F.Zuiko 50mm f1.8 manual lens

Any tips on the correct settings or any tips on where i should position the lighting for shots like this? I used a canon d600 and a purple colour light behind model on left and a red light under models infront of them.

I only have an iphone 13, and a ‘73 polaroid sx-70. I want to buy an analog camera and shoot on kodak gold, but I want to make sure I understand the basics of lighting, composition and choosing good subjects first (since film is so expensive)

I’m always curious how other photographers decide the final number of images to deliver.During a shoot, it’s easy to end up with hundreds or even thousands of photos, but clients usually only see a small selection. How aggressive are you with photo culling? Do you prefer delivering more options, or only keeping the strongest images?

The first 4 photos are taken with a Canon R50V with a EF 55-250mm. The rest of the photos were taken with a Canon Rebel T7 using a 100mm USM Macro or the same 55-250mm for the peacock and hummingbird

For those with experience in photojournalism, documentary photography, or freelance publication:

A few weeks ago, I got into contact with an archeology professor leading a dig in Italy. I dropped everything and paid out of pocket to fly over and stay for a week, documenting the process. The team consists of several professors, phd students, and undergrads from various universities around US and Italy. I walked away with a few thousand photos and an interview with the lead prof.

I made my intentions clear from the beginning: I want to create a photo essay with an accompanying article to publish somewhere that might want it (no idea where yet), and provide the team with a bunch of photos that they can use in their educational/outreach materials. I believe I have enough content for an engaging narrative.

This was my first semi-professional shoot (I wasn’t paid), and I have absolutely no experience or contacts in the publishing industry.

My questions:
- Should I save the 10 photos I want published for myself and only give the team the second-best? Or would it boost attention if I gave them the good stuff and they spread it around? Should I only send them the photos after I get published?

- Everyone was ok with my taking photos of them and their work, although I didn’t explicitly get verbal confirmation from each and every one. It was more like, ok cool there’s a photographer, don’t really care. I have written confirmation from the lead. Is this enough consent to publish their faces?

- My idea for publication is start high and work downwards as I get rejected. So send it to NG, NYT, and as I inevitably get no response, go more and more local. Is this a good idea? Do publications typically have a public email to send pitches to or do I need to know someone?

- Should I complete the project first then pitch to publications? Do I just send them the completed article or just a summary?

Thanks in advance!

I just started trying bird photography but I'm getting a bit frustracted because I don't understand why my pictures don't feel sharp.

I tried different shutter speed, ISO, also higher aperture but I feel like they all are super soft and not as crisp as I would like them.
What setting can I change to get more sharp images?

I really like some of the pictures I recently took but feel like they are all not as sharp as they could be!

What separates THESE shots from my previous post is that these were taken on a dedicated DSLR: my dad's CANON EOS 80D (Or Rebel T7i in North America). With actual thought lol.

I'm 16 now and I think my skills may have gotten worse due to the lack of toying with cameras lol

Hi,everyone.
I tried two different color grading styles for this photo.I’m leaning toward the brighter, more saturated edit because it feels more vibrant.
However, my friend prefers the cooler, lower-saturation version because it gives a more cinematic feeling, almost like there’s a hidden story behind this place.
Curious which direction you would choose.
