As a photographer, you need to have a creative mind and be constantly thinking about what would work in a photograph. This also involves being highly analytical and spending time considering scenes in order to incorporate all the right aspects.

If you are a natural photographer, you will probably see opportunities in everything you do. This is a great skill to have and you should make the most of it. Keep your camera with you as you never know when you will see the perfect sunset or find the most gorgeous old building to shoot.

Come up with ideas and concepts for your shoots. Creative photographers will have method to what they do, as well as making it look beautiful. You may want to capture certain things, like animals or a particular type of flower. If so, make this into a creative portfolio and think of a creative name for your series of images.
