Letter to my past self

To be successful in photography you need to put as much effort as you can into your work. Use up class time to your advantage. Never settle for your first idea, as it is probably the most basic one you have. It might not be a bad idea, but if it's your first thought other people might have thought of it to. Alway's take your time when taking pictures and be patient when working with photoshop, especially the cut out tool. Overall, you need to take your time and think about what you are going to do for a while. But most importantly, you need to have fun with it and be creative. Let your creativity show.

This is a piece I did a while ago. I think it is successful, because instead of just taking the pictures and being done with it, I put them together into a collage. It's little things like this that will make your work stand out and show how much thought you put into it.
