Is it okay to take pictures by yourself?

I am a commercial photographer, and have photographed portraits, products, models and scenes.

It depends on what you want to do with photography and to what extent.

From the perspective of an independent photographer, it is impossible to be a photographer. Many people have some misunderstandings about portrait photography, thinking that one person can complete all the shooting, but many independent photographers have accumulated a lot of personal resources. When we shoot a product or a theme, whether our personal ideas can be realized, the design and ideas of visual effects, as well as clothing preparation, lighting, plane position, and equipment handling, transportation, installation and layout during shooting need to be done.

At the same time, we understand plane shooting as photography and video shooting as camera shooting, so a person who takes care of both photography and camera shooting needs to allocate half the time to shoot different contents at the same time, which has high intensity requirements for the operator's technology, physical strength, efficiency and quality control, that is, the output and quality are equivalent, and the amount of post-editing is also very heavy. Since commercial photography is considered, our ultimate goal is to shoot products or portraits that customers are satisfied with or like. It is impossible for a person to achieve such high-intensity efficiency and mass compression ratio in a limited time. At least there are assistants, makeup artists or designers.

Then, if a person likes photography, the purpose and time freedom of non-commercial photography are not limited, and it is no problem for a person to like photography at the same time, but it is difficult to shoot a blockbuster without a team. After all, not everyone is a phoenix among people.
