I think some rules everybody should have! Not always written but think bout it! I like to write mine down. The once below are from Craig Mod and I can not say I do anything different (but I also use a tripod for self-portrait photographs cause it is hard to handle that without and I have one flash which I like to use)

  1. RAW only. JPEG quality is irrelevant because it seems insane to shoot anything but RAW. I’m shooting for documentary and archival purposes, as I think we all should.
  2. Mainly aperture priority.
  3. Mostly Auto Focus because things move quickly in real life.
  4. Everything handheld. Night shots with a tripod.
  5. No flash. Almost always available light.
  6. Edit. Edit. Edit. And post-process. I spend tons of time in Lightroom editing and filtering images — trying to find thematic threads — and preforming ‘standard’ darkroom post-processing.
