This chapter will begin with five success stories that may inspire you on the path you are trying to take. Creating iconic photography entails more than merely capturing a moment with a camera. A professional photographer uses cameras to take photographs that are then developed into prints or saved as digital images. Photographers understand how to use cameras, how to utilize lighting, how to use lighting equipment, how to work with their subjects, and how to modify their work to increase its attractiveness or hone in on a specific perspective of the photo.
To become a decent photographer, or even a great photographer, usually needs a lot of effort, enthusiasm, motivation, passion, hard work, and an innovative attitude. A good photographer concentrates on outperforming his or her rivals in whatever photographic area he or she has chosen, whereas exceptional photographers set the pace by making unique photographs that others seek out. This type of photographer has a name and a brand in their niche.
Several of these photographers, however, did not become successful immediately and had to go through a lengthy and difficult process to become who they are. Here, we'll look at the inspiring stories of five outstanding photographers who overcame numerous obstacles on their way to becoming the most famous photographers that ever lived.
