What’s the one tip you’d give yourself starting out as a photographer?

Whenever I was asked by people who wanted to get started at photography I would give them two pieces of advice. 

1. Experience is the best teacher, take as many photos as you can! I'm completely self thought myself and that's really down to keeping my camera with me at all times and taking photos constantly. 
2. Don't buy a new camera until you've reached your limit with what you can do with your current camera or phone. People are always believing that they need expensive cameras to take good photos but some of my favourite photos were taken on my phone. Practice with what you have. When you reach a point where you can't take the type of photos you want, and only then, upgrade to a camera that suits your needs. I used my starter DSLR for years as a professional before finally upgrading. Trust me, most people won't notice the difference.
