The qualities of a good photographer

Not necessarily mine; just what I might aspire to…

A question posed by Brian Lloyd-Duckett…

Understandably, most people replied with the qualities of a good STREET photographer. However, my effort went thus:

  • Steps out of their comfort zone – both creatively and experientially…
  • Well-developed interpersonal skills…
  • Long-term view, project-based…
  • A curious mind and research-oriented…
  • Politically left-of-centre with a passion for social change…

To which I am going to add a sixth…

  • Couldn’t conceive of a day without a camera in their hand.
  • Busy streets;
  • markets;
  • railway stations;
  • sports events;
  • holiday destinations.

In fact, anywhere that pickpockets are active…

  1. Make significant inroads into my emotions and photography research project through the Ronin Institute or elsewhere
  2. More work on projects generally
  3. Up my game on more creative imagery
  4. Teach more and at a higher level
  5. Publish more photography-related journal articles, reviews etc
