This article lists eight photography secrets that amount to some useful advice:

1. Learn to see and frame your pictures in perceptual layers
2. Think “icon”
3. Use stereotypes to strengthen your point
4. Take advantage of basic human nature
5. Stay away from conservative composition
6. Instruct and say “stop”
7. Be overly productive
8. Don’t ever settle for less
