He is only 18 Thou... he is still learning thou... its the publishers fault thou... his photos are not that bad thou... your photos are dull thou... your jealous thou... your criticism wasn't constructive thou... Don't judge a photographers skill by their age. there are many under18s who are fantastic photographers - brooklyn is not one of them. He hasn't learnt much - so really shouldn't be charging people for a published book of his "WORK" David and victoria also had a hand in the selection process and publication. his photos are not bad, they are terrible my photos are in focus and have a subject. criticism ≠ jealousy I don't need to be constructive. his book is already constructed.

[@red_locarno]

Dombowerphoto THIS 👏🏼

[@mmxxmxm]

I agree with you, i can take better photos than he

[@Dragontasticvideos]

Good job on this "photography review"? Anyway i think its well done. Also I feel the sudden real urge for someone to roast my photos too. Id really like that haha...

[@lisah.8838]

Dombowerphoto he definitely shouldn’t be charging . You’re right

[@markjameshq4439]

Sorry Dom, I wholeheartedly disagree with what you are saying, of course people are jealous because we have this mindset in the current age of instant gratification and when we see something like this it pushes our buttons, our envy clicks in to gear, we all have it but why can't we flip that.... and be positive towards people and their actions... What Brooklyn and to an extent his family have done is built personal brands, if you build a personal brand, the world is your oyster, Brooklyn has put a lot of hours and time into building a social following... is his photo work good?? No... but thats not the point here... its about influence... Brooklyn has influence and a following (market).... Burberry didn't ask him to shoot for them because he was an amazing photographer, its because their brand would go out to millions of his followers putting Burberry on the tip of the tongue of millions of kids (a new market)... Thats business. The biggest thing we can build in life is leverage and thats exactly what the Beckhams have done, they have a huge amount of leverage... and ultimately the market will decide how much that leverage is worth... He has brought out a book of subjectively what you perceive as "shit" photos, is he wrong for doing that? Should he not do it because his work is not up to par, hell no... if anyone was in the same position they would jump at it... but as I say ultimately its the market that will decide and the sales will decide if it was a worthwhile exercise for Brooklyn, the personal brand he has built and following suggest it will be great business and a great decision... Don't worry about what Brooklyn is up to, he is doing just fine, whether you think his photos are "shit" or not and he has as much right as anyone else who owns a camera to release a book :) My 2 pence worth.

[@markjameshq4439]

You have hit the nail on the head, yes anyone could take them photos but you know what Brooklyn has that we should all strive to have? Leverage and influence... thats the key in the equation, not the images :)

[@which_craft]

Perhaps that is exactly why many people (and Burberry) likes him. To top it off, he is famous with famous parents. Most normies don't enjoy "good" photography, They see it too difficult and artsy. No matter what anybody says, Brooklyn is just the kind of stuff that the vast majority of young consumers like.

[@Olivb9]

Wtf .... photography is art and the fact is not “everyone” can take it. This video pisses me off, why do you feel the need to post a video criticising another persons work? This video is rude and you obviously don’t appreciate photography and different peoples style. Like are you jealous? his work may just be a hobby. Fuck off

[@jooom]

No, I can't take photos like that. No matter how hard I try... my photography skills still cannot go that low.

[@ericpmoss]

Steve Irwin's kid was lucky to be surrounded by loads of talented photographers and cinematographers, and he clearly worked to learn those skills and develop an eye. I'm jealous of that opportunity, but don't begrudge a single thing, as he's not accepting, let alone expecting, undeserved praise. That is not the case with Beckham. Beckham's parents should have gotten Mr. Miyagi to teach him the craft before giving him a Leica and a book contract. Burberry was certainly just leveraging one brand in support of another -- fine, but they don't deserve any respect for it.

[@InvincibleJ]

I agree with this video 100%. This kid got lucky because of his name. It's sad when there are many far more talented photographers out there who should be published. I see far more interesting photos shared on Instagram. His pictures are nothing more than random boring snapshots and as you pointed out Dom, there's no context to them whatsoever. It doesn't even look like he's learnt the basics either and I would wouldn't be surprised if the majority of his pictures are shot in auto - someone who has his type of privilege should be learning from someone with experience and looking for a mentor, he has access to the top, world class photographers and making something of himself!. What an insult to aspiring photographers Utter pish. .

[@crady8414]

Wait, whats wrong with auto again??

[@monsada6040]

I know nothing about photography. What I can tell from this is, SevenIrwin’s son has an eye. He has an eye for amazing shots and he’s damn lucky. The other guy THINKS he has an eye, but he’s really just a hipster. His pictures SEEM like they’re supposed to evoke a feeling, but they don’t because he doesn’t know what he’s doing

[@Dombowerphoto]

bingo

[@colblimp]

I actually looked through the book in a bookshop and the pics you showed are fantastic compared to some of the images you didn't show. The other pics should have been deleted by the publisher - they're the worst I've ever seen!

[@logicpolice2451]

colblimp better than your book. Oh wait... easy to criticise someone who’s actually done something from your couch.

[@lizz9896]

Logic Police you could call a movie terrible without ever having made one Not everyone who criticizes is a hater, even if they’re on their couch. It’s an opinion, a widely accepted one at that.

[@alexanderthegreat647]

Logic Police I am a photo student in college. I have made galleries and photo projects for my school. I know how hard it is to make a photo project and this book was garbage. There is a huge lack of technique and nothing unique going on. I could go into specifics but you probably wouldn’t understand so I’ll leave it at that.

[@crochunter35]

Absolutely no talent.

[@hannahm1937]

Not going to lie, I didn’t think they were completely bad until you showed the photos by Tommy Gak-Ken Wan. The difference was remarkable. Tommy’s work was in another league and really highlighted how meaningless and bland Beckham’s images are.

[@OreoBunny123]

Wow, you totally read my thoughts!

[@NiamhAllStar21]

The problem is not bad photography. The photos are fine like. They nice enough everyday pictures. The problem is that they are published world wide in a book and he’s what, 18? His career has barely started and he has achieved what people work for for their whole life.

[@dombower]

achieved.... being given a medal for attendance is not an achievement. and his photos are not fine, they are shit.

[@samfullofsin]

+dombower Yes. From a photographer that has worked for a few years like Brooklyn, they should have way more skill

[@yuhyeet231]

Niamh C no honestly his pictures are shit

[@carlosdrfx]

Although he achieved absolutely nothing! He got derided worldwide for taking crap pictures by everyone, probably had to finance his publishing and promotion. That kind of negative exposure (pun not intended) is not really what you want as a teenager.

[@mau3020]

It isn't a problem at all. It just says that if you're well connected and have money, you can do whatever you want. Remember that Paris Hilton toured as a DJ and released a record. Sasha Grey published two novels, but for this photographer and those 2 women there's barely any talent at all in their creations. The problem is with the people that consumes that type of pop culture, because of the hype and wanting to be part of the trends. Luckily all those endeavours are short lived since it isn't their passion. Compare that to Shakespeare, that although he's dead, his books are still selling.

[@samfullofsin]

I'm just a graphics designer, not a photographer. But he just has 0 real emotion, terrible composition, its just plain boring..

[@elysiatalks]

Brooklyn has rly no excuse to publish boring af photos he's lived an incredibly unique and interesting life which he should've been able to have some decent photos from. The fact he's published the blandest selection of photos shows pretty much how he has no understanding of basic photography, this isn't down to taste just the fact he's a shit photographer.

[@georgeporter1246]

Sorry, but he has no understanding of anything. He's not just a shit photographer!

[@gazzc]

looks like he is just trying to learn. the only mistake is some book publisher saw an opportunity to make money from his fame. Who else didn't have photo's like that when they first started?

[@dombower]

yes. when they first started... not when they were doing fashion shoots for major companies and doing book signings. anyway here is what mine was like when i first started www.blurb.com/b/2215491-getting-there-with-photography

[@Michelle-oo9gp]

Maybe I'm crazy but I don't think he's that committed to learning even for someone his age, e.g. he would have looked for another school close to his home in the UK after dropping out of homesickness, or supplemented his internships with workshops or even participated in local competitions (they make names anonymous for fair judging at least in our area), my friend participates to see others' works and to see her own capabilities even though she doesn't win, another friend made his own low budget lighting setup just for shoots in his tiny bedroom at around the same age, when there's a will there's a way. But BB's not improving that much. This video was made 2 years ago and there are reports just a few months ago that he lacks even basic skills....

what are your thoughts on cole sprouse then? hes famous from his childhood acting (and current), and has done photography work.

[@estherjane5148]

ann to me cole sprouse is way better than him. He did quite a few photoshoots for magazines even at the time that he’s not that famous as now. (Before riverdale) I don’t think his love to photography has to do with his name or such. I think he just that kinda guy that always love to carry his camera all the time and genuinely loves photography.

[@alexanderthegreat647]

Esther Jane I am a photo student in college and I completely agree. Cole is different, more refined, and has skill

[@sammikhan464]

Brooklyn is talent-less. he is not even trying and just riding off the Beckham name. i saw the book its just a bunch of photos that anyone could take. I am so glad you mention Steve Irwin, Robert. He is out there making a name for himself and building on his family name NOT riding on it.

[@Ben-rz9cf]

Nepotism is bad 100% of the time. Because its anti-meritocratic. But if you HAVE that level of opportunity, you shouldn't squander it. In fact if you happen to have nepotism on your side, i feel like you owe it to society to hold yourself to a higher standard, or at the very least use your connections to help forward the career of someone who's earned it more than you

[@acasualviewer103]

[@marcd7332]

Still not good enough to be published

[@Dreyno]

If I’d taken those photos (Beckham’s) I wouldn’t bother showing most of them to my friends or family. Never mind expect to get them published. Also, if you want to do portraits of “tough” characters in “moody” poses, don’t use renowned nice guy David Beckham. He’s a polite, shy, charity supporting teddy bear. Tattoos and a cap don’t make him a street thug 😄

[@matthewstreacker7402]

One thing I’ll critique about this video is that photography doesn’t always have to have a message or a story. It’s not a poem, it’s not even always like a painting. Sometimes it’s about putting a feeling into a frame or a mood. A lot of the photos that were called good in the video looked like stock photos taken by a fancy camera and honestly bland

[@gamingguru2k6]

Art can be anything, including nothing at all.

[@crochunter35]

Good thing he has his "cooking" skills to fall back on. Oh wait....

[@creedolala6918]

I don't think any novice or even bad photographer deserves abuse unless he walks around claiming to be great. Does this kid do that? Because it seems a little shitty to dump on the kid if he's not showing any kind of inflated ego... bash the people around him, who are trying to puff him up because they worship celebs or hope to tap into the family's money or whatever. If you're gonna roast him, at least make it funny. Shitting on the kid because he's a celeb doesn't make any more sense than worshipping him for it.

[@BreeElisexo]

Most "good" photography is good because it has purpose, it was carefully set up, whether that be the subject or the composition or the angle or whatever. And then the edits match the feeling of the photo. They are thought through, even if captured seemingly spontaneously. But Brooklyn's photos look like he whipped out his camera and took the photo in 1 second without thinking or aligning anything. They seem random and lazy. That's why they're considered "bad". He needs to take an intro to art class or something and learn about the principles of design.

[@fawnrot]

the criticisms are as bland as his photos.

[@monsieurcandie8894]

I dont get the point of bitching young Beckham... if he wants to be a photograph let the dude experiment and be whatever the fuck he wants to be.... All this negative bullshit is Art's Cancer...

[@ABuKCor777]

Nonono, letting stuff like the photos he published go unnoticed is the actual modern day cancer. We still need to have standards bruv

[@monsieurcandie8894]

He won't stop taking photos ... as I didn't stop writing movie scripts when all my teachers found them boring, irrelevant, to pretentious, and déjà-vu. What if we set aside our doubts about fine art, to be as care-free as a child painting a page with delight. Coz , Kids dont worry themselves about the Criticism, they just throw paint at the page just to see what the colours do.

Enabling a celebrity hack to surpass real photographers is the real cancer. Why would you support such a bad photographer over the rest?

[@larajhilton]

There’s a theme here…..did the book without the hard graft, then recently he did a cooking slot, on The Late Show (heralding himself as a ‘chef’….. for steak and chips and a bacon and egg sandwich🙄). His parents are close friends with James Cordon so there was no merit in that either. If he would just learn his trade and mastered it no one would flag it up. But he side steps the hard work, the sacrifices, the hours then wonders why people don’t respect his work.

[@ciaofantozzi4193]

a lot of times to understand a pic, one should be educated in shadows,angles, composition, density etc. BUT....90% of viewers are..NOT. So the element of surprise, interest, selectivity, pic-portation comes in play and THATS what people are attracted to. I see sooooooo many PRO photographers with NO EXPOSURE AND NO INTEREST because people simply DONT UNDERSTAND and DONT CARE about technicality! HAVE FUN!

[@AminTheMystic]

No, no, no! That is NOT the point. You have spectacularly missed the point. The whole point of a good photograph is that the untrained eye will pick it up. There will be something about it that you will automatically be attracted to it.

[@ciaofantozzi4193]

Exactly :) Agree with your language! But Bob Bought Billion Begapixels Brand New Canon and went to get schooled on how to get pics the "right" way.. now Bob wants to show technicality, professionally done apertures and focus! But Bob Brings Boring Bloody pics online. I guess we both agree on simplicity but nothing simpler than simplicity.

constructive criticism would have been while he was constructing his internationally published book. not after.

[@BrookeBaubles]

Dombowerphoto I'm not really seeing the logic behind that statement. People still write constructive criticisms on movies once they've been released worldwide. That aside, the video would have not only been more entertaining but also educational for people who don't know as much about photography; but instead, you made a video that boiled down to, "This guy sucks." I'm not trying to attack you; I'm just giving constructive criticism.

Brooke constructive criticism is only useful if the person plans to make another book/video. Brooklyn probably isnt because he is shite.

[@hahax2566]

Dombowerphoto no but I’m saying he didn’t have a choice either. You can tell the difference between him/his brothers and other social media influencers. Other social media influencers make songs, do acting jobs, and are always trying to entertain their fans but Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz don’t do that. (I know cruz made a song but that’s only because cruz has a passion for music other social media influencers do it for clout, and money. Most influencers can’t even sing lmao) They don’t really bother with fans like on instagram/other platforms they don’t respond to comments, follow fan pages because they didn’t ASK for fans..

Yes his name and parents helped him get it published, but he called it “what I see”. I don’t think he’s claiming to be better than anyone. He’s not even 20. We’ve all taken bad shots and grown to hate them as we progress. I won’t ignore that he has way more access to support and materials than other 20 year olds, but it doesn’t really warrant all the cruelty. Jealousy isn’t a good look for anyone.

[@frameout2035]

You see, the guy has potential and even when he stopped, I would recommend him to hire a prof to give him personal workshops. A prof with a similar style to Anton Corbijn. The guy is obviously in his black-and-white era, which many starting photographers have, and some will never grow out of it and become very good at it, while others are realizing how they can make colours work. And no, it's not patronizing, because colours are a difficult thing to get right, so it makes sense that beginners want to focus on the light first, even when they don't realize it themselves. Most beginners want to think they are really thoughtful and original and I'm also poking a bit fun at my younger self. If painters are struggling with colour, Brooklyn as a photography beginner has every right not to know what to do with colour. Corbijn had problems with focus in the beginning as well, which made him develop his contrasty black-and-white style, so it was less visible his photos weren't focused well. Just like Corbijn, he can change his weakness into a strength. If I look at the photo of his dad's hands, a Corbijn like processing in Photoshop might actually safe some of the images. I get your problem with Brooklyn. His skills aren't good enough to achieve worldwide fame, which is a valid point. I think he can become that if he actually used his nepotism to become a serious photographer. There are resources enough for him. Even the branding of documenting his famous parents would be fine with me if he actually puts in the work to become good.

[@straightoutthebox3499]

its plain to see mummy and daddys money fame whatever ... there kids will want for nothing ... even if there stuff sucks they will still get further than the artist .....#money#notate

[@lepolygone3305]

You're overthinking the whole thing. 95% of photographers do shit... "vapid" is the word you used. Cute, rule of thirds, technical, product, meaningless crap is what you and others are doing. It's not like the wrinkled up b&w old lady pic is something that's still relevant today. The secret to good photography is taking LOTS of them and in that pile of shit you MIGHT find one that's worth it. It makes me laugh when photographers think they can challenge peoples minds and perceptions thru their "Art" (dosent sound pretentious one bit). The chances of having our minds blown by such a limited impressionistic medium are slim... so just do it for the love of it and something might shine thru.

[@grizta30]

Have to say i agree with you fully and i was of the same opinion in the start, ie give him a chance but after seeing his work (read snapshots) my opinion changed. Problem is he will undoubtably be getting work an actual photog would have got purely because he's a beckam.

[@graxx478]

But who cares?

[@Dombowerphoto]

the beckhams care

[@emnoix8103]

This book looks terrible , I’ve seen better photos on Instagram accounts .

[@drawntoicehockey]

Noooo coonteeext, jest btthhhhh (I love the way you put stuff. Also a nice surprise to find you're a Scot, I'm a Welsh portrait artist, but I like learning from different places).

[@IkeTheBuilder]

Everyone needs criticism, awesome video

[@marsinfante4814]

I think that those are different kinds of photography, though? Brooklyn’s are more experimental and fashion magazine’s kind it isn’t about telling something that will change your life for seeing it but to appreciate the beauty on some mundane things. And I do think that Brooklyn’s are similar to Tommy’s in a way, Brooklyn’s preference is to use b&w and there are many photographers who have that too. I’m not saying he deserves all that praise but that it’s just his style. He’s studying photography on a fashion school so that should be expected, nobody has to have a set style by any age, famous parents or not, he can explore and still be good at what he does. He’s not the best but also he isn’t the worst at it.

[@iristahema3852]

Good to see some common sense.

[@gorila1958]

Been doing Photography since the film days have photos I'm sure they could put together my best works and I would be a formidable contender for a well known photographer. Just dont have the $$$ financial backing or the name . Those who work hard have to work harder . Sorry and yes I agree with you . I made a previous comment . Paul Macartney who is a Great Example. His Musical career the Beetles yes them . He writes great Songs and music . But he has painting he has done needless to say sorry they suck . Couldn't paint a straight line with a ruler. He paints and they say his painting are great they are not sorry it's just his name ... #learnyour craft .

[@RavenfluxASMR]

OK BUT IN THE FIRST PHOTO HE CUT HIS DAD OFF BEFORE THE ELBOW. YOU DONT CUT PEOPLE OFF AT THE JOINTS

[@freddymain6910]

I mean I think his work is dreadful too, but your taste in photography is also so bad and too traditional

[@KARFFASHION]

These guys obviously miss the point that his target audience are interested in instagram fashion photos, say, Juergen Teller, David Sims, Petra Collins, that kind of direction. It's plain, boring, yes, but that's what's going on circulating in their culture. Not the great techniques you like being what they care about at all.

[@sarahlunsford4099]

I thought some of them were pretty good. 🤷‍♀️ He’ll get better, especially if he listens to constructive criticism. Could be worse!

[@Jeffrey_Davidcr]

I can give you the Instagram account of a real bad shooter that thinks is better than any average human. Lol

[@herberthuncke1288]

whilst im no phtgrphr even i can tell these shots are just shots....shit n i do better on my phone

[@ItsBoneless]

they look like photos people take with their phones when they are on vacation, not much more.

[@Paul_85-]

The same happened with that guy who shot the royal wedding. What a joke that was

[@yoitsjust773]

go to instagram yall see 14-15 yrs old taking much much better photo than Beckham's kid. this is sad

[@meowsefer]

Jesus I can't believe you spent the time to make this. For what reason? I missed your point. His work (shitty or not) has nothing to do with you... Makes you look like a jealous adult picking on a kid. Pretty great content!

[@Dombowerphoto]

dont patronise brooklyn as being a kid, he is a fully grown adult.

[@meowsefer]

Dombowerphoto but what's the point of your video?

[@Dombowerphoto]

to give a professional photographers perspective of the published "art work" and from someone who is not a fanboi and also to show alternatives and examples of good photographers and even younger photographers who can take amazing photos.

[@meowsefer]

Dombowerphoto but why? Anyone can look at his work and decide for themselves that it either sucks, has potential, or thinks "whatever." Did someone specifically ask for your "perspective" on Beckham's photography? If not, the conceit of this video really just seems like shit-talking hidden behind the guise of a professional photographer doing a bit of public service.

[@Dombowerphoto]

yes i had many requests to review his book. guess you are not a long term subscriber.

[@Metralhas3000]

Why is your screen tilted? Im feeling dizzy

[@lizarie1118]

Art is subjective. There’s no proper way to take a photo if you’re an artist. Stop hating because he’s famous. Anything he does will get attention. Others will have to work harder. Tis life

[@sebfleebee]

Photography is such a pile of pretentious crap.

[@jamoriah]

He probably just needs years of practice.

[@TheOrisya]

Its not bad... Doesnt deserve your buurfft...

[@maltratar]

He needs to learn more, publish a book with random photos is very pretencious.

[@jacquelynjmzr]

I'm my opinion, his photographs are basically like an aunt taking a photo but with a really fancy camera... they're just not that interesting to look at, especially if he's going to them in B&W. He just got really lucky because of his parents. This just goes to show that you can have really good equipment but not a photographers eye.

[@GGAdam773]

complaining for the sake of complaining

[@catherines386]

I agree with you for the most part, but the video would’ve of been more useful for other amateur or aspiring photographers if you did more constructive criticism besides saying that his photos are dull and have no subject. I personally clicked on this video to learn what was wrong with his photos and to learn how to improve my own photography, but I feel like I just wasted 10 minutes on mouth farts and comparisons to other photographers that are clearly just so much better. Idk I guess maybe that wasn’t the point of this video, but I probably would’ve learned just as much by flipping through his book myself.

[@shawnbay2211]

Agreed. I really wanted to hear some helpful criticism for this guy, and how it can help myself.

[@pinoyillest]

And that’s why he is at a university to become better. Let the kid grow.

[@ecksluss]

pinoyillest Should have had all of that before being an internationally published photographer. Because his success doesn't match his work.

[@BazzerObama]

pinoyillest he's just jacked in the photography course, maybe he's woken up to how shit he is compared to his fellow students work........it happens

[@MaryArts]

He tries, he succedes, he sells. Nothing bad here I think. Of course we are jealous because most people can make better fotos, but this "problem" is in every branche. Maybe we have to think about what we do wrong that we don't sell like him. When he studies it, be happy for him

[@JamEngulfer]

pinoyillest: There is absolutely nothing wrong with people having room for improvement when they're learning. People shouldn't harshly criticise people's early shots. *However*, if they are publishing their photos and especially if they are publishing them for money, it's fair game. If you are selling your photos, they can be judged against every other person selling photos.

[@corey938]

MaryArts they are gsrbage look up other peoplr

[@seerpou]

end pop culture's nepotism!

[@liv-xr8ri]

i normally like any picture i see but i feel like most of these could’ve been taken on an iphone and would look the exact same

[@iDX1701]

How are you going to have a photo critique session and show all the photos at an angle??

[@justrock28]

i am not a huge fan of Brooklyns photos as well but this video is awful.. no constructive criticism and pure jealousy.. its not his fault that he has the name.. you too would take advantage of it. and regarding the other pictures that you like so much.. using an expensive camera, getting up close and putting 10 filters on it, is boring to me.. so let the kid do his thing

[@Dombowerphoto]

i would take advantage of it. i would get access to the best photographers in the world, the best locations, the best make up artists, the best advice, tips, tutorials and experience and really make some awesome shit with all those advantages.

[@Taras_ocean]

Wow those photos by Tommy GaK Ken Wan are fantastic!!!! I’m obsessed 😍

[@SiAnon]

I saw one of this photos which was an Elephant that was backlit, the photo was fucking awful but the caption under it was something like "Elephants are so hard to get photos of". Are they fuck. He just has no idea what he's doing and has a load of people kissing his arse telling him everything is wonderful. I too thought all of his photos were shit and boring.

[@emilthilsing]

Mate.. you might wanna check the link to your webpage in the description...

[@horatiohuskisson5471]

Look at the left arm of the baby one, terrible

[@secularpilgrim1372]

I think it's a bit mean to "critique" has work with such venom and compare him to "better" photographers. I guess he is just doing what he can do. Why should to bother you so much? A review or critique if a person's work should be based towards helping that person to improve, not rip out his guts on a public forum. How would you like somebody to do that to your body of work? Jealousy is an ugly look!

[@dombower]

venom... you must be new to the world of photography critique.

[@olivia-st4qf]

‘all stuff you could really do with a toys r us camera’ since when has it mattered what kind of camera you use?? it’s about the actual image and not the amount of pixels? his work is not that bad imo but i’m young myself ...maybe let him develop before you pull him down? how good was your work when you were his age?

[@dombower]

no, he has already developed, developed enough to be published by a major company and charging people for it. his work is not bad. it is shit. When i was his age.... has nothing to do with it. but lets say, how good was my work when i published my first book... oh lets see, check out my book (link in the description of every video)

[@eviem70]

You people are bullies! Picking on a kid is what you guys like to do? I want no part of it!! He’s got millionaires for parents, so what ... it’s not his fault he was born into that. I’ve seen a lot better photos, but it does not give any of you the right to bash a kid. No wonder suicide rates are over the moon. It wouldn’t surprise me if 5 years from now he’s so much better than you bullies. I’m unsubscribing

[@Dombowerphoto]

bullies? Kid? not his fault? bash the kid? wow, could you be any more patronising to Brooklyn? he is a fully grown adult capable of making his own decisions and progressing his own career and put himself and his work out to the public for criticism and this case ridicule.

[@mutajrjr1970]

while Don was creating this vid i was shooing clients and making money.....:)

[@Dombowerphoto]

I made this video while my computer was exporting all the files of the shoots from the day.

[@shannonjones7987]

This is not to be rude or anything, but what makes a good photo? Do you have any videos on that? Recommendations anyone? I don't know anything about photography

sure do, have a link to it in every description box on my videos, yes i even have a book if you want to read. www.blurb.com/b/2215491-getting-there-with-photography
