If you are disheartened by your photography then constrain yourself to people only. Once you have learned how to talk to your subjects, to get real emotion out of them, then you’ll never look back. Break through that say-cheese barrier and make eye contact. Get people to really look at you and trust you, know when they are ready, and get them to show you how they feel.

I used to pat myself on the back for artsy seashell misty forest autumn leaf postcard stuff. In a world of hyper technical gear none of that is exceptional any more.

The composition and lighting of people and their faces is all.
