Do you need to learn painting to learn photography?

I'm not sure if I want to take the basic art course of photography department, but there is a requirement for height, which seems to be 1.75 meters.

I am an art student, and now I am a sophomore. My major is Chinese painting and self-taught photography.

Professional photography colleges are all practical photographers.

I wonder what kind of photography you like?

If you are a commercial photographer, you can go to a better professional training institution to study.

Now it is easy for everyone to learn from camera operation to photo processing, so photography is just a pseudo-art, and the key lies not in technology, but in your ideas and creativity, and your perception of things!

Personally, I think that as a commercial photographer (photo studio), you should know how to operate rather than simply take pictures.

Photographs are flat, and there are many similarities between techniques and paintings. Because photography borrowed a lot of paintings from the beginning, it is completely possible to learn painting. At the very least, it can improve your aesthetic self-confidence and help you shoot landscape composition.

I have a new understanding of painting since I played photography. I suggest you learn it all.

Painting needs to find a good teacher. Photography can be taught by yourself. Many famous photographers started by themselves, and they all started late. Read more high-level photography books and the works of famous foreign teachers.

1 I still want to learn photography, which is good.

If you are interested in photography, I suggest that you can apply for the Academy of Fine Arts (the eight major academies in China) in the future, where the artistic atmosphere is very good, so no matter what major you study, it will be helpful for your photography.

If you want to be a photographer in the future, people will not look at where you graduated, but at your works to see if you have the ability to create for a long time.
