Over the years, we’ve published some great stories on why you should photograph the details in landscape photography (most recently in January this year).

It’s a genre we encourage people to try as intimate imagery can make for compelling photos, while also giving you a more diverse portfolio of work that will help distinguish you from the masses shooting traditional wide angle shots.

If you need further convincing, this video above from landscape photographer Adam Gibbs discusses how to find and photograph smaller details in landscape photography, particularly in forests. It’s a really well-done video that should give you some food for thought.

Check out the video above, and you can see more of Adam’s videos on YouTube.
