On this website I looked at different recommendations for New Years Resolutions related to photography. The recommendations include tips on getting out of your comfort zone, becoming more inspired, and other nontechnical tips that can help you become more confident in your photography.
I learned that it is very important to remember all the technical tips when it comes to photography, however it is also important to take risks, try and be creative, and improve your skills through confidence.
a. This portrait photo was taken by the author Jenna Martin. b. I really like this photo because of how unique and out of the box it is, which is definitely an idea she was trying to get across in all of her tips. c. Because the person is underwater it allows for a plain blue background which helps focus in more on the subject.

Christian Richter is an architecture photographer who discovered the beauty of abandoned staircases after exploring old abandoned buildings in Germany. Richter now goes around searching for beautifully disoriented spiral staircases wherever he can find them and takes photos from the top looking down.
I learned how strange and cool spiral staircases can look from the top looking down, and how beautiful architecture photography can look.
a. This photo of a staircase was taken by Christian Richter, an architecture photographer. b. I specifically chose this photo because the spiral staircase is so strangely built that I can't even understand what point of view I'm looking at it from. c. I suppose you could technically say that this photograph includes framing because of the way the stairs are set up.

On this website I liked at some tips on how to take good fashion photographs. Those tips include building skills on talking with your model and being creative when it comes to taking style related photographs.
I learned that it is a good idea to come up with a couple of words that do a good job at what you and the model want the photo to look like and what you don't want it to look like in order to choose the best photos.
a. On this website I saw many quotes from different stylists and style photographers. These quotes helped share the idea that it is important to be confident in your work and to also be thinking outside of the box. b. I learned that it is important to have a good relationship with your model in order to achieve the best photo possible. c. This site related to photography because understanding some rules of fashion can help for better fashion photography.
