There is nothing that replaces experience. And trust me, some of my early pieces were ripped to shreds in critiques in front of other professional photographers. When I finally got really serious about photography I worked for one of the finest portrait photographers in the area FOR FREE (part time) on the condition that he would teach me. So while YouTube has volumes to offer, nothing beats face to face learning.
Dismounting soap box.
Have a great Holiday season. Thanks for taking the time to help. And most importantly stay safe....[emoji111]️
