In this video by Brandon Woelfel, he outlines 5 Photography hacks to Improve Your Creative Photography.
5 Photography Hacks
1. Phones
Hold the phone up to your camera lens to reflect the image and light for a cool effect.
2. Thinking like an editor
Think of locations. Look at a scene in a way that your final edit will be applied. Mentally isolate a location in your head so when it comes to physically shoot your subject, you can apply what you had in your head.
3. No model hack
If you feel inspired but have no model, use your hands and a cool object such as glass ball, lights, and play with shallow depth of field.
4. Altering light
Manipulate natural light by using textured materials. Bounce light off a sequinned pillow. Shoot light through colanders, CDs, doilies etc.
5. Use an object near your lens
Hold a leaf or other object and hold it close to the edge of the lens
