New Year, New Photography Goals: Share them in our Photo Challenge!

[alpha-stormy]

As we wave hello to 2024, we are all thinking about new resolutions and goals for the year ahead. This includes photographic goals – from learning a new technique to completing a story, there are a myriad of photography-related ambitions to work towards. In our next photo challenge, we encourage you to share an image that in some way represents your photography goal for 2024. We can’t wait for our community to support those goals and see the progress you make throughout the year! 

 

Every post in this thread will earn you points towards advancing your status in our community rankings.

More personal work and projects for me!

I want to capture more beauty in nature. I have spent a lot of time in the studio the last two years and I want to just BE with nature more this year. I still love creative editing, but I want to get more of that natural dreamy light, dew and bokeh that outdoor shooting provides. 🙂

At the end of 2023, I lost 4TB photos containing my Svalbard, Uzbekistan, and Japan photos..... So for 2024, I'll finally be putting more effort and resources towards establishing a series of redundancies. Including a NVMe storage array and include cloud storage as part of my process. 

From a photography perspective, I want to improve in technique with lighting.

Id Like to get in some more Landscape work. GOAL for 2024 is more adventure to capture.

What are you doing to stretch your creativity or talent this year? I am determined to get in the water with my floating photography raft. I injured my knee and I think shooting in the water will be a nice thing, except for mud. 😂 I also want to get out of the studio and shoot more in-situ. What are challenges you are taking on?

I am focusing on doing more creative work that includes some self-portraiture and cinematic video, as well as working with tweens.

I’m also interested in more self portrait. I need to do more of and get more comfortable being in front of the camera instead of behind it

One of my primary goals as a photographer for 2024 is to hone and develop my skills in wildlife photography specifically. Over the next years, I plan to upgrade my gear and equipment to ensure I have everything I need to capture high-quality images of animals in their natural habitat. I also want to spend more time in nature, observing and learning about the different species and their behaviours to anticipate better and capture those perfect moments. This was captured last week in Fundy National Park, New Brunswick. I'm excited to take on this challenge and see where it takes me in my photography journey!

So much I want to do. My primary objective(s) are landscape and wildlife, to really be able to showcase animals and nature. There will be a lot of hikes this year to national parks and nature reserves here in sweden this year.
