You've mastered how your camera works and the technical aspects of taking a great picture, but now it's time to build your confidence and hone your skills.
Jeff Meyer, photojournalist at Camera Jabber, explains confidence is at the heart of all great photography, enabling you to take the shots that tell a story, whether that means asking a stranger to let you photograph them or putting yourself forward for a specific job.
He provides 11 ways for building your confidence, from exhibiting your work to joining a photography community where you can learn from peers and share your knowledge with them.
Setting yourself a goal is also listed as a crucial way to improve your skills and become comfortable with your abilities. Meyer recommends listing your weaknesses and then setting yourself targets for each one, eventually turning them into strengths.
