033: As you advance as a photographer, one of the big jumps that completely transforms the quality of your images is learning to move away from shooting reactively, to shooting proactively.

Proactive shooting changes everything about your photography, from your style to the impact of individual images.

See, you might be an extraordinarily talented photographer. But are you crafting stories within each frame?

If your goal is to move past portraits, past stellar-but-standalone shots, then you have to move past shooting whatever appears out in front of you and instead shoot with intention.

You have to move from shooting reactively to shooting proactively. And I'm going to walk you through how.

You'll Learn

• What reactive shooting is and how it limits you
• What proactive shooting is and how it steps up the quality and content of your images
• Two sets of questions that are key to shooting proactively (Hint: the first set gets you thinking about the why and what, and the second set gets you thinking about the how, when and where)
