So Then, What Makes A Good Photographer and who is a BraveShooter?

This is a very subjective question as it’s mostly a matter of opinion more than anything, and it has little to do with your gadget because your gadget is only as useful as you, so someone I may think is awesome, you may think to be rubbish. You should only ever shoot for yourself, as trying to please everyone will prove itself to be completely pointless as it’s unlikely you’ll ever succeed. There’s popular opinion on who is a good photographer, but there’s no rule which you can follow to take you there – mostly it’s down to practice. But there are well defined paths to becoming a BraveShooter. We can tell you that for a fact.

“Your first 10,000 photos are your worst” – Henri Cartier Bresson

The quote above will ring true to anyone who actually uses their camera enough to take over 10,000 photos, as the improvement in this time is huge. There’s only so long you can go into photography ignorant to the elements, before you have to learn how to take better photos, and it’s likely that if you’ve reached that many photos, you’ll have learnt something by now. Practice really is the key to good photography, and when you compliment that with study of composition and photography, you’ll start to see your photography improving a big way.

As cameras get better and better, the quality of the images improve, and that’s something we’re all appreciative of because they begin to allow us to do stuff we couldn’t do before by providing features such as an improved dynamic range, but that’s still not what good photography is. The camera is just a tool; yur secondary tool. It’s your eyes and your mind that make the photos. If you want to become better at photography, I strongly suggest that you carry your camera around with you much more often, and before long, you’ll be thinking like a photographer.

It however takes more than thinking like a photographer to become a BraveShooter! Talent is not just enough. You will need an all-round skillset to be certified a BraveShooter. One thing is certain, while all BraveShooters are expert photographers, not all expert photographers are BraveShooters. So, who is a BraveShooter? That's the question we get asked most often! And now is the time to provide some insight but wait for it,....a braveshooter is most definitely worth the wait.
