February, New Hampshire – When shooting for the ScenicNH Photography archive I find self assignments and a little direction to be very beneficial. On top of my everyday shooting, I try to focus on one subject every month that is connected to the environment.
Examples of past subjects I have focused on include extreme weather, backcountry camping impact, and trail stewardship. This approach has allowed me to build an extensive, marketable and profitable image archive of the White Mountains. The subject for this month is "snowshoe tracks", see some shots below.
I believe to be successful in this business a photographer needs to have a diverse collection of imagery and doing self assignments can help accomplish this. And if you photography has hit a wall a self assignment maybe the cure. At the very least it will force you to have some direction when heading into the field. You can see more new imagery from this month here.
Happy image making..
