If you want to be a good photographer, here are the top five skills that will help you achieve your goals:
1. You need to know how to take pictures of things. This means being able to see and capture the world around you in a new way.
2. You need to know how to communicate your vision through photography. This means speaking clearly and effectively with your clients, telling them what they can expect from their photos and why they should care about them.
3. You need to have an eye for detail and a deep understanding of composition, light, color, shape, texture and form.
4. You need to be able to work well under pressure or in stressful situations — for example, when dealing with emergency situations or unexpected problems at home or work or when photographing people who are upset or anxious about having their picture taken.
