THE BIG IDEAS


Experiment Beyond Equipment Limits: Creativity isn’t defined
by the latest or most expensive gear—push boundaries with what
you have, and you’ll discover new ways to tell visual stories.

Embrace Learning Through Replication: Studying and recreating
inspiring images builds understanding and confidence—there’s no
shame in learning from those ahead of you.

Let Curiosity Guide Composition: Go beyond novelty
perspectives; intentional use of color, geometry, and light
creates images with real impact, whether you’re grounded or
flying high.

Adapt and Stay Responsible: Being prepared, flexible, and
mindful—especially when using drones—ensures safety and enhances
both your technical skills and image quality.
