Question I was wondering what you though of my pictures. Http://flickr.com/Carrierox4ever13 I am 15 and I would like to be a photographer. Any suggestions on how I can improve??
Answer I love Miss Kitty 38.
Most of your pictures appear to be snapshots, but if you are aspiring to be a photographer, you've got 'the eye'
You'll need to improve on the technical aspects.
Strive to keep things tight and close, like Miss Kitty. Watch your lighting, which is probably more important than the subject.
Only show your good work. Edit out anything that you can't say 'Wow!' about and build that into a portfolio. Get involved with the school newspaper or yearbook and see if the local town news can use some photos.
Read all you can about photography, shoot as often as you can... if something doesn't turn out the way you wanted it to, shoot it until it does.
Find an adult class on photography, get a good camera and use it until it is second nature and you know what the shot will look like before checking the LCD screen.
