Okay, okay, photography is an artform, and we shouldn’t be telling you how you should express yourself in your photos.
But…
There are some photography cliches that just need to stop. Too much bokeh, too many crazy filters, and enormous watermarks all look bad. That’s not to mention that photos with borders on them are just oh so out of style. And that’s just a sampling of overused techniques that have overstayed their welcome!
In the video below, DigitalRev TV offers up a summary of these and other crucial photography don’ts that you need to avoid if you want to improve your photography. Don’t just blindly follow what other photographers have done in the past. Fads come and go, and the techniques on this list have definitely fallen out of favor! Have a look, have a laugh, and use this to ensure you’re not one of those cliched photographers!
