How To Take Fewer Photos But Better Photos In 2025 (With My One Photo Rule)

Photography Explained Podcast

Send us a text

I want to get straight into taking better photos, beginning with taking fewer photos. We can all take fewer photos and, in the process, take better photos, and in this episode, I am going to tell you how. And yes, I will revisit my one photo rule. And here it is.

• “Take the time to take the best one photo of one thing.”

Yep, that is my one photo rule in twelve words. Splendid.

In this episode, I tell you

• Where did my one photo rule come from?
• Why I only take two photos of a sunrise
• How I take fewer but better photos of buildings
• Why was I taking so many photos?
• How you can take fewer photos but better photos

I also tell you

• What if you use a phone to take photos
• What I do

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in (much) less than 27 (ish) minutes!

What is not to love? How utterly splendid!
