Standing out from the crowd

With Alex Noriega



In this episode we talk about ways to stand out from the plethora of other photographers out there, and ways to approach iconic locations without just re creating the same images over and over.

Congratulations for being selected as the USA Landscape photographer of the year



Photographing Icons and Finding something new



The catch 22 of photographing icons aka, horseshoe bend, Mt. Rainier, Delicate Arch, etc



Millions have photographs have been made there by everyone with a cell phone

They are iconic for a reason, they are either abnormally photogenic, or an amazing natural phenomenon that doesn’t happen just anywhere





How do you approach Iconic spots to make you photographs stand out from the rest

Going beyond the obvious shot

The difference between copying and drawing inspiration from others

Drawing inspiration from more than one source





 

There is more to light, than crazy sunsets and sunrises



Lots of photographers get hung up on only photographing sunrise and sunset, what other light conditions should people be looking out for to still make striking images



1. When its clear, shoot Twighlight or night
