Sony A7Rii Photographing Lake Hodges In Escondido

It’s a new year, a time for resolutions, and a great time to define some personal photo projects to grow your artistic eye in 2021. In today’s episode, I’ll share a template for how you can create a set of photo projects that will stretch you creatively. I use my own plans for 2021 as an example - my projects might spark an idea for your own project, too!

You’ll want to listen to Episode f/51 first because part of choosing the right set of photo projects is knowing what your opportunities for growth are.
