What makes a great photographer?
Is it the gear that you accumulate over years, or the thousands you spend on new equipment to be the best?
Is it the years of knowledge and training?
Perhaps it is a combo of these. Maybe it a little more. Maybe it is the ability to follow your dreams an become the best you can with out letting your limitations stop you from achieving what you wouldn't think would be possible.
In Indonesia, there is an amazing person who has become a professional photographer despite having very limited abilities that would otherwise make any lesser person give up on everything. Achmad Zulkarnain was born with no hands or legs. But he isn't letting something like that stop him!
His artist name is DZOEL, and you can find him on many different social media platforms! He gives inspiration to many that you can achieve the impossible if you have the passion.
He composes, shoots, and edits the images all on his own. This is something that I look up to. He has a resounding dedication to be what ever he wants to be. Maybe there is something we all can take away from this kind of attitude. Here is a video below of him as well as a link to his instagram. www.instagram.com/bangdzoel

Achmad's passion and determination is motivating. I would love to follow him around and learn photography skills.
Love this story! Reminds me that my biggest limitation is usually my mind and lack of self belief. Thank you for adding a little determination to my day to be the best version of myself today.
Totally, a lot of times my biggest blocker is myself. Gotta just work past that!
Wow!! That is so inspiring! !
I know right?! It out some things in perspective for me to want to do better.
