I just graduated from college and want to be a photographer. I worked as a photography assistant for one year. But the situation at home is not very good, and I don't know what to do.

1 Do you think the photographers in those studios are all college photographers? Hehe, there are not many high school graduates. Most of them begin to work in training institutions similar to technical schools after studying for three to five months. After working for a long time, they became photographers.

Don't always bring up family situation. People who become photographers must have people who are much worse off than your family, but it is a fact that others become photographers.

The salary of photography assistants is definitely not high, and the salary of photographers in photo studios is not much higher. Unless he is a truly famous photographer in the industry, he can take commercial photography cases alone. If you are a photographer who takes wedding photos, art photos and location in the studio, the salary will not be much higher.

This is something you should decide for yourself. If I were you, I would go to work normally for a while, at least to stabilize my life. If I can, I will buy a SLR camera and start practicing by myself. If it is really hard to forget the photographer's dream, I can quit my job at any time and start applying for a job in the studio.

You know, when you take a hobby as your career, after a long time, you will only lose one hobby.

You should also know that the level of photography will not be improved by taking pictures with a camera every day. Photography level includes two parts, one is technology, which really needs long-term accumulation and practice, and the other is background, taste and style. These things can be improved by other methods besides photography, such as reading more books. Empty-minded people will always only shoot flowers, auto show models, birds and beautiful women, while those with things in their minds can create unique works.
