We can all agree 2020 has been a year like no other. Like the rest of the world, we have no doubt that you’re probably keen to move forward into 2021 and get your photography aspirations back on top of the priority list. As with any new year, it’s a great time to assess your situation and what your goals are for the year, and to make some new year photography resolutions.
While we need to be considerate to the new normal we’ve adapted to live with, and respect any local, national or international Covid-19 restrictions that may be in place, we can all begin to think about our photography aspirations for the year and put our plans into action to meet our goals.
To help get you inspired for the year ahead, we’ve compiled a list of our top 29 resolutions. Whether your photography plans are to simply get out and shoot more or to refine a specific skill set, we have ideas that will inspire and suit everyone.
Whatever your photography hopes for the coming year are, go at them with full force – and make this year the one to shoot for!
1 GET YOURSELF SORTED
Use this part of the year to get all of your past and present images in order. That might mean backing up your raw files, or finally creating a comprehensive storage system where you can easily access previous work. Have a look at what you shot this year, and assess what you achieved. Also have a think about if you want or need to store all your old raw files. Remember it costs you money to do so. Reflecting on your work is important for moving forward, and deciding where you want to go.
