But if I had to select one thing, I would say that I wish I learned to take more risks photographically early in my life. When I began shooting, I was always trying to compose the &#8220;perfect&#8221; picture (whatever that is). I had a certain idea in my mind of what I wanted and only fired frames when all the elements lined-up. Today, I still have a vision of how I&#8217;d like a photograph to look, but tend to be a bit more loose in my style of shooting. I will work a subject from many perspectives and try things that probably won&#8217;t work, but when they do, its something very special. There are many situations I wish I could go back and re-shoot using this approach.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8928\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8928\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Brian_Skerry_whale_shark.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Brian_Skerry_whale_shark-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Whale Shark\" title=\"Whale Shark off the coast of Western Australia.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Brian_Skerry_whale_shark-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Brian_Skerry_whale_shark-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Brian_Skerry_whale_shark-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Brian_Skerry_whale_shark-235x156.jpg 235w, https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Brian_Skerry_whale_shark-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Brian_Skerry_whale_shark-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Brian_Skerry_whale_shark-220x146.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Brian_Skerry_whale_shark-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ylovephoto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Brian_Skerry_whale_shark.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Copyright (c) Brian Skerry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Skerry is one of these underwater photographers who make you feel that this is technically easy to shoot whale sharks (like the one below) or a bluefin tuna, or a seal pup.
