I am continuing my series on dreaming big, reaching for the stars, and never giving up. This time I am focusing on the art of photography. Are you dreaming of becoming a Photographer? Photography is an art form that requires significant skill and dedication. I’ve learned that there are certain qualities you must possess and techniques you need to master to be successful. In addition, you should have a basic understanding of the camera equipment available and how to use it, as well as about composition and lighting.
The type of camera you choose will depend on the field of photography you’re interested in. Traditional cameras come with lenses that allow greater control over focus and depth of area when taking pictures. At the same time, smartphones offer more versatility with their built-in camera functions, such as panoramas or HDR photos. Additionally, field cameras are the way to go if you’re into animal or nature photography. For example, field cameras allow you to take pictures of wild animals in their natural habitat, offering a discreet and less intrusive approach compared to traditional camera equipment.
In addition to choosing the right camera, photographers need to understand composition and lighting techniques to create images that stand out. Having a good eye for setting up shots and capturing moments is essential, as well as learning how to manipulate light sources or choose backdrops. With enough practice, you can learn how best to use the environment around you to create exciting compositions and dramatic effects in your photographs.
Photography is not just about taking pictures; it’s also about having a creative vision and mastering the technical aspects of capturing an image. With enough dedication and practice, you can create unique photos that impress even the most discerning viewer.
Becoming a great photographer takes time, effort, and an eye for detail. Therefore, you should always strive to learn more about your craft and continually develop your technical skill set to keep improving your work. By taking courses or joining photography groups, attending workshops, or simply reading up on techniques online, you’ll become better equipped with the knowledge needed to capture stunning images that leave lasting impressions. Taking photographs is a creative endeavor and a journey of self-discovery, allowing you to explore the world through a different lens and discover your unique style. So, if you’re passionate about photography, don’t be afraid to take the plunge and invest in yourself by investing in quality camera equipment and mastering the fundamentals of great photography. With hard work, dedication, practice, and more practice, you can become a fantastic photographer who captures unforgettable images that will last for years!
My blog on the art of photography only provides a taste of what it takes to become a great photographer. You can create beautiful images with the proper knowledge and skills. From choosing the appropriate camera equipment to composition and lighting techniques, photography is an art form that requires dedication and practice. However, by investing in yourself and your passion, you can become an amazing photographer who captures unforgettable moments that impress even the most discerning viewers!
Note: I employ a Canon EOS Camera, an iPhone 13 Pro Max, and a collection of 10 Browning Strike Force Field Cameras (varying models). I will focus on each camera I use in future blog posts.
As I reflect on my photography journey, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement for what’s to come. With my trusty Canon EOS Camera, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and my treasured collection of Browning Strike Force Field Cameras, I have the tools to capture extraordinary moments. Though I have much to learn about photography, I am continuing. I choose to dream big and dedicate myself to practice, practice, practice. For me, photography is not just a hobby but a passion. I believe in never giving up on something you love, and with time and hard work, I will become a solid photographer.

So I read your blog….let me say I’ve pretty much done everything. My struggle is selling my photography. Who is legit? What websites sell? This is my struggle so I get down till I see something that needs a photograph. I get back on that horse again and start snapping away then I hear those words again, “you should sell your photography.” Ugh. (Silently) please help
Hi Maria,
Thank you for reaching out and asking for guidance on selling your photos. I genuinely appreciate your passion for photography and your willingness to try something new.
From my experience, selling photos can be incredibly competitive and often requires substantial time, effort, and resources to make it work. While it’s fantastic that you’re considering this path, I believe weighing your options carefully is essential.
Before jumping in, ask yourself what you want to achieve and whether selling your photos aligns with your long-term goals. Sometimes, pursuing photography as a hobby or sharing your work in non-commercial ways can be just as fulfilling, if not more so.
If you still feel strongly about selling your photos, perhaps start small—test the waters by selling a few pieces to friends or local businesses to gauge interest and feedback. But remember, whatever you decide, ensure it aligns with your passion and personal growth.
I wish you the best on your photography journey!
Warm regards,
