"I bought my first camera at a vintage camera store...I can't remember it's name." That's a great story, and he tells it so well.

Between skateboarding and professional photographer; he has found cure for Aids, solved world peace and even managed to get his mum to eat a chocolate biscuit.

[ryankrissoff]

Probably the same level as most AP high school photographers. Except this kid got lucky with his daddies name.

[davidwave]

Whoever directed this video has a better compositional eye than this kid.

[roqueffort]

He is "ace" photographer because he has famous parents. End of the story.
Because anything with a "beckam" logo is instant success.

Brooklyn Beckham is everything that's wrong with modern photography. Nothing but pure vapidness and laziness. Lots of Instagram followers + famous name ≠ talent. If it wasn't for Keith Olbermann I'd unsubscribe in a heartbeat.

[matthewduncker]

I think it's great he's getting into photography but he is amateur at best who got a book deal based on his family name. The shots in it were lackluster and the captions were not well written. If this is something he's gonna keep doing down the road I'd be interested to see how it turns out but the hype is a bit nuts at the moment.

[GangBlud]

The only reason he gets attention for his photo's are because of his dad. It's basically free publicity for whoever hires that kid. Kinda sad, since most hard working photographers go unnoticed by the masses.

Was this interview doc about the loud as music playing over Brooklyn talking or Brooklyn? I'm confused although it could be about that cheap as royalty free song in the background

So if I had famous parents I could call myself a master of any career i guess

[ValuedComment]

How many teenagers get into photography and instantly land a Burberry contract? His book on photography has been mauled by critics. If David Beckham hadn't played for United he'd have quickly disappeared by now. But with Simon Fuller handling the family they're going to push their kids into the spotlight to milk the Beckham name for all it's worth. Brooklyn isn't a photographer, just like he isn't a footballer. His younger brother has modelled and had a single out - and it has nothing to do with his talent. Or lack or talent.

Seems like a nice guy but need to stop celebrating nepotism on this level. No insight was given and no reasoning to why he is above the level of his peers

How Brooklyn Beckham Became an Ace Photographer - Because his mum and dad are famous .

[bigdave]

[lingnztw]

Answer: nepotism

You're welcome everyone.

[omwfyb]

His book. Any kid could do it...but they have to be a beckham

[mariochmtz]

Background music was way too loud GQ. Couldn't listen to him talk

[H_A_L_]

Nice, papa bought him a Leica.
Whilst most street photographers struggle to buy their equipments, to get their talents recognised, little Beckham is an *ace* photographer bcos he got an old camera tattoo ?
Hmmm green eyed monster popped out there 😬
Hope he bloody appreciate dat beautiful camera unavailable to the likes of many serious even professional photographers.

[ritchski]

He is talking like he already made it as a photographer. My god, the entitlement is astounding. If he was sincere he would keep his head down, study like everyone else then release something of real substance, not use pictures of his rich family.
