What do you think of when you hear the phrase, “The art of photography?” Words like Play, Experiment, Passion, and Self-Expression come to my mind. That’s why I chose this as the focus for Love that Shot. I’m taking this site back to my roots. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at college learning things like art history, various artistic techniques, and most importantly, how to see the world through artist’s eyes.

When we start out in anything new, it’s important to learn the basics. And we’ll cover the basics here, sure, but what I want to focus on is what comes after we learn the rules… what happens when we use that knowledge to create what we see in our imagination.

So what can you expect?

1 | The Basics (of course!)

Getting to know your Camera and Software is very important, whether you use a DSLR or smartphone.

2 | Getting Creative

Once you have the basics down, this is when the fun really starts… Getting Creative is where we unleash our creativity and start to play!

3 | Gear & Gadgets

We’ll talk Gear & Gadgets, but this isn’t a tech review site. My philosophy is… you don’t need the latest, flashiest gear to create great photos. You just need to know how to use the gear you have! But when I see something fun that I think you’ll enjoy, I’ll feature it.

4 | Photo Stories

We’ll go behind the lens and share Photo Stories from photographers around the world. If you know of someone you’d like us to feature, we’d love to hear about them! Just pop a comment below or shoot us an email.

The most important thing to remember is that here at Love that Shot there is no right or wrong way to do something. There is only play, experimentation, and fun! And that’s what the ART of photography is all about!
