Ask a professional photographer. I am currently unemployed. I used to work in film and television post-production. After I stopped working, I have been relying on this job to make a living and take time to shoot movies everywhere.

First of all, let me say that I am neither a senior nor a practitioner in the photography industry. I just had the same dream as you many years ago, but after working for many years, it was not easy to turn back, so I had to give up.

I would like to give you some advice. I personally support you in chasing your dreams, but there is a big gap between dreams and reality. There are many categories in the photography circle, and most of them are not very famous. China’s understanding of this aspect Too little knowledge, too low. If you want to become a professional in the industry, you must first consider what aspect of photography you like? Portraits, ecology, or something else. The second step is to determine the direction based on your preferences. If it is portraits, I personally suggest you start in the photo studio. There is no need to care about whether you like it or not. After all, you cannot become a professional all at once. You need to learn many things. On the way to development, Experience and work background are indispensable parts of you. To put it bluntly, professional photographers may not be able to find a suitable job, let alone you who are just getting started.

I have learned about it before and have done shadow shooting and portrait shooting. I usually like to shoot birds, and I also sell photos on several photography websites. In the end, I found that people in the photography circle are quite diverse. If you don’t have certain communication and interpersonal skills, I advise you to just have fun. To give you the simplest example, in my eyes, bird hunting is a very fun thing. If enthusiasts meet together, everyone can share shooting methods and shooting locations, etc., but rarely The only reason why someone reveals this information to you is that the people who isolate themselves from others are too lonely. People in portrait photography are basically divided into three levels. As long as it involves portraits, whether it is wedding photos or advertisements, etc., it is basically the same. The lowest level is basically raw format automatic transmission, or AV. There are no technical features, it is just messing around, and there is no professionalism at all. Then there are the mid-level photographers, who have a certain understanding of cameras and shooting techniques, but their professionalism is not as good as that of most enthusiasts or enthusiasts. The top level is the masters you often see in QQ groups, senior executives of a certain company or professionals in a certain company Photographers, in their spare time, will hire models to take pictures. They are very professional in technology, lighting, etc., but you will find that it is very difficult to communicate with this type of people, especially when discussing technology.
