In this week’s episode, we discuss 7 habits of highly successful landscape photographers. We can all agree that we have a group of successful landscape photographers that we admire and “follow” as they progress through their photographic journey. I’ve had the privilege of meeting many of my favorite landscape photographers and even had the opportunity to work with a few of them and some I’ve never met before. Over the years I’ve read many articles written by my favorite photographers, watched video interviews of them and generally researched the habits & qualities that seem to set them apart from the rest.

In this video, I review the common habits that appear to have at least contributed to the success they’ve achieved in landscape photography. There’s many contributing factors that goes into the overall success of a photographer, but I noticed there was a common theme of 7 distinct habits of the highly successful landscape photographers that I follow. I think one of the best ways to improve at something is to identify like minded people that you admire, figure out what they do differently and begin applying those habits into your daily workflow.

Success in landscape photography is something we’re all after – Even if you’re not looking to make a career in photography, you’re more than likely looking to continually improve and what better way than to take a close look at the habits of successful landscape photographers.

Thanks for watching everyone!

    I can really appreciate this video Mark. It's a reminder of everything I'm not doing to improve my skills. I definitely needed this, thank you sir! See you next week!

  3. KreygScott says

    Thanks Mark.

    Ive found with landscape photography it’s about quick decisions. Sometimes those moments are literally just moments and being ready to take that shot is why I love it and sets certain images apart. This has taken a lot of practice for me at least. Agree on prep time and location scouting, but less on organization 😆. Im usually a mess. Great video!

  5. Chris Edgecombe says

    Good interesting video; I do feel sorry for that picture hanging in your house though, didn't you headbutt it in a previous Vlog….it's got to be feeling pretty depressed right about now.

  6. travis branum says

    Great tutelage as always sir. Hope you have a great trip

  7. Jack Arigho says

    Thanks Mark, I really enjoyed this video. It’s given me a desire to just go out and practice, take notes, scout for locations etc. 👍😎

  8. Johannes Heinrich says

    Awesome video Mark ! As always very helpfull ! On a sidenote: it would have been awesome to hear some names of your favorit photographers just to check out their work too and get inspired.

  9. Christopher Martin says

    Nice one. I have a full time job and a three year old so I don't get to shoot even quarter as much as I'd like and it does get to me at times but I tend to shoot other stuff to practice and hone my technical skills when I can. I've also found it interesting that the more I look at Instagram and see my favorite local photographers shooting what I'd like to be out shooting it starts to get to me so I've tried to limit looking at it too much. Right now where I live it's iceberg season and it's soon going to be finished and the fear of missing out (FOMO) is a real thing. I think people need to just capture what they like and not worry too much about what everyone else is doing. Sorry for rambling I don't even know if this relates to your topic lol!!!!

    Hello Mark, sitting in my office in the little Country of Northern Ireland. These past 5 years when I returned to photography and the concept of learning this new digital photography. I probably adapted my thinking to all the issues that you raised in your vlog and … it was great fun learning! I did manage to get some images published in photo magazines and some local successes. However, recently, I have started to flounder a bit, probably because my own expectations were set a bit higher and they, never arrived. But having watched your vlog just now has inspired me to keep going and to simply just enjoy the process, again! I have no desire to be rich or famous but I do still have much to learn. Being in my late sixties now, I do still have ambitions to achieve some kind of success in every decade of my life. So, I would like to thank you for putting me back on the right path again with your many wise words… Thomas Heaton; Simon Baxter; Nick Page; Adam Gibbs and Joe Cornish …

    7b Inspiration. Copy others, but as Picasso say: Do not copy…Steele! Take some and make it your own. Best vlog Thank You…!

  12. Will Lee says

    Adam Gibbs is on top of the game presently. I really enjoy his work, his compositions are simply stunning.
    Everybody can learn something from Adam Gibbs.

    Leaving at 4:00 a.m. for Rainier National Park and watching this video was a real motivator to enjoy tomorrow and time with the camera. Thanks!

    thank you Mark, that saying im doing right 😉 i was doing photoshop for years before get into photography 😉 it helped me to get my picture look reel and not edit just to put filters but get the real thing i saw on location !

  19. MThebean says

    True, you sometimes revisit your pictures and wish you could go back to fix something. But do you have at least one picture which you are completely satisfied even after a few years ?

  20. NakamuraPhoto says

    Thanks, Mark, for your thoughts and tips. I appreciate your help with photographic topics.
    Keep up the great work.

  21. Bela Acs says

    Mads Peter Iversen (landscape). Simon Baxter (woodland). Habits what work for me the best. Don't do anything by routine. Rest your new images a few weeks before edit them. Just a stupid question. Why do you have two same images on your wall? The square ones. Thanks for the tips!
