The history of your craft
As with any art it’s important to learn from the best. So take time to not only learn how to use your camera kit, but also about the history of photography. There are so many resources available online, in libraries, magazines and bookshops that will guide through the seminal moments in the history of the medium. It’s seriously worth taking the time to study this. But don’t just limit yourself to photography, take your inspiration from other sources too, such as painting, sculpture, music, architecture and science.
