People always assume that as a photographer I know how to make everything look seemingly nice - there are 2 types of photography that I am TERRIBLE at, one is selfie and the other one is taking pictures of food🤡

Photos by @gunnargunnar: "This series features Icelandic horses roaming freely through the rugged highlands of Iceland. The highlands are breathtakingly beautiful, with vast lava fields, volcanic craters, moss-covered landscapes, colorful rhyolite mountains, and more. While these dramatic scenes are stunning on their own, adding an element of scale—like the iconic Icelandic horse—brings an entirely different dimension to the imagery." 📸 #Canon EOS R5 & EOS R7 Lenses: RF28-70mm F2 L USM & RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM

Pieces of advice to facilitate artistic improvement! With @maxbuiting / “My passion for travel and photography is rooted in my childhood curiosity and love for the natural world. As I grew older and pursued a career as a chef, I found a way to channel my passion for nature into my culinary creations. However, the constraints of a kitchen made me long for the freedom to immerse myself in the landscapes that inspired me. Transitioning to photography allowed me to capture the world’s beauty and tell visual stories. My artistic style continually evolves, and I treat each image as a blank canvas. I gravitate toward a warmer color temperature with slightly muted colors. I incorporate a soft glow in my editing process by adjusting clarity and noise reduction to create a signature look. The most critical steps in my editing process include removing distractions from the image and utilizing the tone curve for adjustments. Take as an example the last image of this series: I captured this photo using my 100-400mm lens, highlighting the sea fog’s unique ambiance to the scene. When editing this photo, I aimed to enhance the natural elements of the waves and fog while preserving the mystical atmosphere and emphasizing the person in the frame. I chose a soft and muted color palette to evoke a sense of calmness and tranquillity. If I could offer advice to my younger self for artistic improvement, I’d suggest: 1) Consistency and regular practice help refine your technical skills and deepen your connection with nature. 2) Seek feedback and embrace constructive criticism. Feedback can help you identify areas where you excel and areas where you can enhance your skills. 3) Setting clear goals is essential for a landscape photographer. Plans can help you define your artistic vision and provide a sense of direction. 4) Building relationships with other photographers can open doors to opportunities you may not have encountered otherwise. Additionally, sharing experiences with like-minded individuals can be inspiring and lead to lasting friendships that enrich your journey as a photographer!” You can read the original article with @maxbuiting by visiting the link in our bio!
