First, I will stop by your three cameras, each from a different company, and this matter is considered a grave mistake for a photographer who owns more than one camera. This is in addition to being an unjustified material waste. You need to buy different lenses according to the type of each camera, which burdens the task of carrying these cameras and their accessories. At a time when it is advisable to buy the camera body alone of the same quality and thus use one type of supplies and lenses.
This is a more practical method, as you will notice regarding the pictures that we received from you and which are published here. They are good, and it seems clear that you have experience in dealing with the camera, and you also have the idea and pre-vision of the cat.

The use of a camera with a small size and a mechanical shortcut eliminates much of the value and quality of the images that you aspire to achieve.
Although the pictures published here are okay, they will always limit you to the category of beginners in photography, and I do not think that you are satisfied with that and do not aspire to something more.

It seems that you savor the scene before photographing it, and I congratulate you in particular on the photo and watching the moon. It has a strong and new idea and its technology is good. As for the angle of taking the photo, this note includes most of your photos. You must focus more on the content of the frame, and we are waiting for new products for you.

Friend Harper.

It is clear that you make good use of the shadows, although you do not have the necessary equipment that can translate your production into a distinctive work of art. You should read more, especially about focusing the frame in a deliberate manner.

Samir's friend

Photographing children is not an easy job.. Its difficulty lies first in their constant movement, and the impossibility of obligating or restricting them to the required observations.
And with the beauty of colors and the technical ability, which are clear in your pictures, we remain at the importance of artistic creativity, especially since the beauty of childhood leaves you in front of enormous capabilities... You have to experiment and we are waiting for your new products.
