Bryan's Laws of Photography: The Law of Following

I'm pulling a line item out of my long-forming and yet unpublished Bryan's Laws of Photography. That law is:

Bryan's Law of Following: Those you follow set the quality bar for your imagery. While you may not love your images as much when comparing them to the best, your path to producing great imagery will be shorter if you know what great is, if you have a goal. Follow the greats.

For example, I have long respected Ian Plant's work. He is a photographer I consider to be great and, therefore, follow.

Ian's compositional skills are outstanding, and his ability to combine composition with the perfect light makes his images impressive.

Next steps:

1. Check out Ian's website at https://ianplant.com/.
2. Sign up for Ian's free webinar to learn many of his favorite techniques for making artistic photos.
3. Consider signing up for Ian's Photo Masters Pro membership.
4. Through Aug 4th, save 25% on select ebooks and videos (some are free).

You, too, might start asking, "What would Ian do?" when approaching a composition.
