Becoming a successful photographer whether professionally or for your own entertainment may seem like a tough task. So, how can you make it easier?
The first thing to focus on is your mindset. You should start thinking like a photographer to become one.
Sounds strange to you? Your mind is the main and the most powerful creative tool you have, but it also may be destructive. If you think that you cannot do something, then you probably won’t. However, if you believe in yourself, stay optimistic and apply significant efforts, you can achieve anything.
Let the beautiful shots and portfolios inspire and motivate you, instead of making you disenchant with your skills.
In case if you wish to make money as a photographer, don’t be put off by a great number of photographers doing business around you. It is a huge market, and you can grow and grab your own if you pay great effort. The more photographers you meet in your area, the more work for them is available. So, see it as something positive!
Don’t be afraid of all the technical jargon, features, buttons, accessories, updates, upgrades and software out there. In the basic form, photography is easy.
Don’t be upset if some of your shots are poor quality. Sometimes it may be equipment, not you. However, you don’t need to spend all your money to buy the latest equipment. You need a camera and a lens to get started.
Most start with a simple camera body (Canon EOS 10D), speed light (Sigma 500ST Super) and one lens (28-135mm).
If you learn to control your camera, you will be able to enjoy photography as real art!
When you hold a digital camera for the first time, it might be confusing:
Start by practicing and do not be afraid to make mistakes. Practice as much as possible and you will see that your level grows day after day. Take your camera with you everywhere and shoot as much as you can. Digital is free!
However, despite digital is free, you should not take thousands of shots and delete the poor ones. Determine what makes them poor, analyze it and learn from them. Look at the light, the settings you used. What exactly went wrong? How can you correct it?
The more practice you have, the better you will become. It is guaranteed for every creative hobby one may have. When you become a real professional you will know your camera inside out and how to deal with the settings, having a clear idea about any situation by making right decisions for composition, lighting, lens, and camera. This day will be great, believe me!

It was done in order to create a new community for learning and living available at Simon Fraser University, particularly its campus in Burnaby. So let’s all go back to September 2016 when it all began.
