Watch as Joshua Cripps shares the second video in a new series called, “Life lessons learned through photography”.
In this short video series, Joshua Cripps shares 7 life lessons that he’s learned through photography that has not only improved the quality of his work but also improved his life immeasurably.
Lesson 2: Just Do It. As Joshua says, we often spend as much time talking ourselves out of taking a shot, as we do talking ourselves into it. We come up with all sorts of excuses like; not having this lens, or that camera, it’s too windy, it’s too bright, the light is flat… whatever. Just go, just do it. You might be surprised at what you get. And even if you don’t get the shot, it’s probably still more fun being out there right? Right.
