In today’s world, many of us feel the pressure to constantly create and put out content, and that can be quite frustrating and detrimental to our process and enjoyment. There is something to be said for letting photos come to you, in a manner of speaking. This great video follows a landscape photographer as he does just that. 

Coming to you from Steve O’Nions, this excellent video follows him as he heads out on a landscape shoot and discusses the idea of being receptive to images. This sort of approach is not limited to landscape photography. For example, a lot of street photographers work by finding a spot with interesting light and a compelling composition, then waiting for action to enter the frame, which is partially why rangefinders are so popular for the genre, as they allow you to see what is going on outside the frame. The next time you head out, try letting photos come to you a bit more; you’ll likely find you enjoy the process far more. Check out the video above for the full rundown from O’Nions.
