23 Fantastic Ways to Improve Your Photography in 2023

There’s nothing better than a fresh start and the beginning of the new year is a great time to make some photography resolutions, assess your skills and put a plan in place to improve your shooting and editing techniques.

Now that we have been able to put the restrictions of the Covid-19 lockdowns behind us, let’s seize the opportunity to pick up our cameras and fully immerse ourselves in photography in 2023.

Here, we’ve rounded up 23 of the best techniques, kit and editing tips to get you inspired in the new year. From shooting at night and capturing luscious landscapes to taking perfect portraits, and much more, we’ve got it all covered. Whatever style or genre you like to shoot, there’s expert advice at hand to help you become a better photographer in 2023.

01 GO FURTHER WITH A LONG LENS OR A TELECONVERTER

If you’re fanatical about photographing wildlife then a lens with a longer reach is essential. Long lenses aren’t just great for wildlife and sport, though; if you shoot portraits, then a 70-200mm telephoto is a great tool for producing flattering images, and this length of lens can also come in useful for some landscape photography situations. If you already own a 70-200mm lens but want to go further, then you don’t have to buy a new optic – a teleconverter can extend your reach by 1.4x or 2x, depending on the model, although in return it will cost you a stop or two of aperture.

Using a long shutter speed with a remote release and tripod can create surprisingly arty photos for your portfolio.

02 Head into the darkness
