Being a good photographer is more than just mastering your camera or owning the best camera gear — say a Sony Alpha a7S III, Leica Q2, or a Fujifilm X100V — and it’s instead about the inherent qualities that allow a photographer to see beauty in the most unexpected places and capture that beauty in a photograph. So what makes a good photographer? It depends on what photography niche you’re in. Every niche demands different desirable qualities—pet photographers need to know how to properly interact and connect with animals; sports photographers need to be quick, strong, and agile to get the best shots; and so on. But, of course, some of these qualities will always overlap.
