Photographer profile

Shooting is not the name of a person with high photography skills. Being a photographer is a vision, a positive, mainstream and social morality attitude, which is more valuable than technology. A person who loves life and others and records his life with a mobile phone, digital camera or digital video camera can be called a photographer. Photographers always remember to record their thoughts and thoughts with lenses after work, in life and during travel. Photographers are women and children, suitable for all ages, and anyone can be a photographer. A pair of eyes that are good at finding, a ubiquitous lens, record the bits and pieces that happen around you, and then post everything you have taken online to share with you. They are called "patterns".

Before online video became active, photographers only referred to photographers. But with the rise of video websites, this word has been borrowed by more and more video websites. As long as you have a mobile phone with video recording function, a camera or a home DV player, and a pair of observant eyes, you can record the stories around you in the form of videos anytime and anywhere, and then post them online to share with you. All this has nothing to do with age, occupation and status. For a long time, people have various understandings and definitions of "photographer". In the traditional Internet graphics era, photographers are often used to refer to people who use various cameras, mobile phones and digital devices to take graphic images. Photographers are easy to use and share with others, which provides a space for people to participate and communicate with each other. Photographers, regardless of age or occupation, do not need professional skills, regardless of whether the tools used by photographers are mobile phones or digital cameras with camera functions. As long as they have a pair of observant eyes, they can record the little things around them in the form of pictures anytime and anywhere, and then they can post the photos to the network to share with you as quickly as possible by sending a multimedia message or email.

With the beginning of the first year of video in China in 2006, the significance of film shooting has changed quietly and profoundly, that is, from graphic images to video images. This change not only reflects people's upgrading of Internet technology application, but also shows users' brand-new thinking and original interest in life, society, hot spots, recording, thinking and communication. It can be said that the birth of video photographers represents the prevalence of a new social pop culture.

Therefore, Youku.com put forward a new concept of "filmization" for video films. Shooting customers has become a very popular cultural phenomenon abroad, and it is also heating up rapidly in China. As the fastest growing video website, Youku is also the favorite of users, and is very willing to look forward to cultivating this interesting pop culture with users. For former video photographers, the biggest worry is that they can't share their good works with others, and an excellent video sharing platform like Youku gives them a brilliant talent display stage. It can be said that video sharing websites and photographer stars exist. "

At the same time, Gu Yongqiang also emphasized the concepts of "filming is everywhere" and "anyone can film". He said: "filming is not difficult technically, nor is it exclusive to a core group." I am a photographer myself. Although I am very busy at work, I always remember to record my thoughts with a lens after work, in my life and during my trip. Photographers are women and children, suitable for all ages and anyone can be a photographer. "

At the same time, the promotion of filming culture is in line with Youku's "hit original" content strategy. Since the first year of video development in China in 2006, video users have not only pursued the entertainment effect brought by the early video, but also focused their eyes on the angle of social concern. The spirit of "originality" has become the photographer's unique video language, and "hot topic" has become the photographer's first expression theme. A long speech can record life in detail, but taking pictures anytime and anywhere can show life more vividly. UBOX shooting channel is such a space to show your life, with no skills and no constraints. As long as you are inspired and interested, pick up your camera and mobile phone and take pictures of your life. Pictures you like, find interesting and are willing to share with you can also be published and arranged in the space of1000 m. Maybe your pet today will become a popular baby on the internet tomorrow. Not long ago, a photographer appeared in Jiangsu Satellite TV's "If You Are the One" program, claiming that the monthly income was conservatively estimated to exceed 6.5438+0.5 million yuan, which aroused the curiosity of many viewers for a time.

What is a photographer's job? How to earn a high salary?

Two ways to realize the dream of high salary

It is reported that some popular original photographers have been living well, not only earning more than one million yuan a year, but also buying a house and a car and even starting a company. Although this is only a few success stories, it also shows that photographers do have ways to make money. So how do online photographers exchange pictures for money?

One way is to make money through video websites. Upload the shot video to the video website to attract clicks. The website will naturally pay according to the agreement, because your work increases the traffic.

The second way is to make money by linking with advertisers. Many advertisers will hire well-known photographers to make online movies with advertisements for their products. With funds, some people began to buy professional equipment and shoot professional online short plays and online movies. Many players have become full-time practitioners, and shooting online movies has changed from interest to a means of making a living.

This kind of photographer takes the task from the website, shooting videos according to specific themes, from MTV/ various genres of short plays/public service advertisements/promotional videos, etc. A five-or six-minute video advertisement costs about 1000 yuan. Lu Zhengyu's 8-episode series of short drama "Office Hip-hop Quartet" filmed in Beipiao is very popular, with the cumulative audience of Youku alone reaching more than 30 million. In this short play, he integrated customer requirements in the form of product placement, and his 7-figure income was not a problem.

Although online drama is a new industry, the competition is fierce. An original author who did not want to be named said that he started making videos in 2007, with more than 3 million hits. However, the income from filming was unstable and I finally gave up under the pressure of my family. Experts predict that because many enterprises do not have a special video creation team, ordinary advertisers are not as good as online celebrities who have mastered the resources of netizens in terms of thinking and influence. Therefore, if the network grassroots authors can stand out with excellent creativity and professional production standards, their career prospects are very impressive. Shooting is not the name of a person with high photography skills. To be a photographer, you should have a vision and a positive and mainstream attitude. A person who loves life and others can be called a photographer if he records his life with a mobile phone, a digital camera or a digital video camera. Photographers always remember to record what they see and think in their leisure time, life and travel.

All this has nothing to do with age, occupation and status. Emerging industries

Photographers say this is a new industry, living on DV and a computer.

The photographer's income probably comes from three aspects: the report fee given by the media, the manuscript fee and the relatively fixed salary of the employed company. Photographers interviewed are reluctant to disclose their specific income, but some people said, "If we run hard, our salary will be higher than that of the working class."

Reporting fee and manuscript fee are the economic sources of most photographers. Photographers hired by some websites can enjoy more "preferential treatment" than their solo counterparts, and sometimes the company will provide them with travel expenses. Sean is employed by a video website, and he provides shooting materials for the website. The company will put a relatively fixed salary into their card every month.

Pushing hands? Planning? Money prisoners?

According to informed sources, some photographers also have a source of income, that is, to be the "pusher" of the network. Photographers hired by some websites will find some enterprises, hospitals and other units, propose to make plans for them, "fry" these enterprises online, and then charge a certain fee. "There is a photographer who works as a pusher in a plastic surgery hospital and earns tens of thousands of yuan. There are also some talent show contestants who will also ask photographers to help them improve their popularity. "

A photographer said, "the most beautiful, the most beautiful, the most awesome ... these concepts are all hyped up through the Internet. The network is like this, and it is not famous without hype. " Some people are therefore worried that "filming", a group that records reality by video on the Internet, will become the behind-the-scenes pusher of being captured by money because of the interests of certain groups and individuals? main content
