Good vs. Great Photographers

There are many kinds of photographers out there. You have:

  1. The crowd that uses shitty cameras, knows nothing in general about photography yet think if they mutilate their photos and upload it nano size it will look awesome.
  2. Wannabe professionals with too much money and too little skill.
  3. Internet forum trolls with no skills but mouths to compensate
  4. Great photographers
  5. Upcoming photographers
  6. and too many other to care about writing

However I like to classify photographers as follows:

  1. Non-photographers
  2. Good photographers
  3. Great photographers.

A good photographer is someone who takes meticulous care of framing and illuminating his subject.

A great photographer is someone who takes meticulous care of framing and illuminating his subject's background.
