This article features an inspiring 16-minute video by Portugal-based landscape photographer Andy Mumford, who lives in Lisbon. He shares the 7 most important lessons he has learned over the years.

There are certain tips and pieces of advice that I give more than anything else during workshops or in response to email questions, and in this video I have tried to bring them all together, writes Mumford.

Below is an overview of the 7 aspects that Mumford discusses in the video.

1. Tripod (00:47): You need a really good carbon fibre tripod;


2. Don't be afraid to fail (02:03): Failure is the best way to learn;


3. Research the location and arrive early (04:09). Do as much research as possible beforehand;


4. It's not about the best specifications (05:33). "You don't need the very best camera to take good photos;


5. Back-up (09:20). Back up your images often, several times and in several different places;


6. What and why? (11:23): Ask yourself what you are actually photographing. Why are you taking the image?;


7. Photograph for yourself (13:49). Take the photos you want to take and enjoy taking.
