You’ll need to scout out a place that you think has the potential to fit your project to see how it looks with different light. A mountain lake might be gorgeous, but it might not suit your purposes if your entire aesthetic is focused on forests under starlight.
What this means, essentially, is that photography is about more than just pointing and shooting your camera.
Photography requires patience. It requires research. It requires being honest with yourself about art and what does and doesn’t look good. Real photography is as much about embracing growth and overcoming artistic frustration as it is about working with light.
A stunning portfolio may look good to strangers, but if the photographer is dissatisfied with their results, then the project’s success isn’t as clear-cut as you’d think.

One thing that photographers—veteran and amateur alike—should consider is how heavily they want to rely on photo-editing software. Processing images on a computer, after taking them, is a core part of many photographers’ jobs. A lot depends on their goals and styles, though.
While some pros might massively adjust colors to create lots of clashing contrast, others may prefer ‘raw’ footage, to make everything seem more ‘natural.’
