Contact, expressions, background control, distance from subject, perspective.

Especially with your 22mm, it's not really a portrait lens.

You'll need to get physically close.

That creates a very different feel from an 85mm portrait lens.

Now, module 7, seeing like a photographer.

This is where things get interesting.

Instead of photographing things, start photographing.

Light, shapes, colours, textures, relationships.

The best photographers aren't looking for subjects.

They're looking for interesting light.

Module 8, landscape and travel.

Particularly useful given your trips to North Macedonia.

Learn foreground, midground, background.

Think, open quote, what is my eye supposed to look at first?

Close quote.

Most beginner landscapes don't answer that question.

Module 9, street photography.

Your 22mm lens is excellent for this.

Practice, markets, town centres, railway stations, festivals.

The goal, tell stories with one frame.
