“YOU DON’T NEED TALENT TO BE A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER”

Last Year, I wrote a reflective piece that centred on the struggles of a creative trying to stay creative (click here to read that) whilst checking my YouTube photography playlist (am I the only person who playlists inspirational photography videos on YouTube?), I came across this video by Manny Ortiz that perfectly encapsulated what I wrote about.

“YOU DON’T NEED TALENT TO BE A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER”

In this video, Manny describes his journey (and what I strongly believe is every photographer’s journey) to becoming the photographer that they currently are. Whilst there are people with a natural affinity for the arts, with dedication, and willingness to learn, anyone can become a great photographer.
