Photographer PJ Pantelis gives you five controversial photography tips in this video that they don't teach you at Fotovakschool. Whether that last part is really true, I don't know, because I've never attended Fotovakschool myself, and neither has PJ.

The five tips are:

1. Underexpose your photos slightly
2. Add style in post-processing
3. Convenience does not equal quality
4. The best photographers cheat
5. Everyone is just pretending

Five excellent tips. Tip 4 especially appeals to me. Not to point an accusing finger, but rather to appreciate the photographer's professionalism.
