The photographer's drumstick has lost its meaning.

"Photographers with drumsticks" are common in the barrage or comments of film and television dramas or operas. When the audience sees some welfare pictures, such as just close-ups of thighs or breasts, everyone will brush the barrage of "photographers with drumsticks". If the welfare map is blocked, the audience will brush "cameraman, this is your salary, don't come tomorrow". And "adding chicken legs" is an online buzzword, which is similar to praise.

Speaking of the profession of photographer, I believe many outsiders are envious. On the surface, the photographer took such a high-end camera and took out a large aperture lens in Quan Huafu, which was tens of thousands. Does it look like a local tyrant? But only the photographer knows what he is doing and what his mood is like. You may never see that kind of uneasy heart and trembling hands, let alone understand. Seeing this pile of expensive equipment, my heart will be even more panic.

A few years ago, a photographer might be a respected profession. After all, a few years ago, when SLR and anti-micro-single were not very popular, it really needed some technical content to make an excellent photo work. But now the development of mobile phone photography ability, coupled with the development of micro-single intelligent AI, makes the entry threshold of photography lower and easier. So photographers are not a good career, on the contrary, they will get more and more tired. Then let's take a look at some of the feelings summed up.

First, the threshold is getting lower and lower.

However, there are still many people who like to be photographers, especially some young people. Perhaps the changes of the times have changed the values of many young people, who prefer freedom. Then photography is a kind of person who can meet your entrepreneurial needs with some equipment and basic photography technology, but this kind of entrepreneurship is not rich or hungry.

Second, photography is becoming more and more difficult to last for a long time.

Photography is actually a career that eats youth. Let's observe that most people who earn money by photography are younger people. To tell the truth, if they write according to their 40 s and 50 s, they will not be able to stand it. Think of a whole set of equipment, a fill light board, a flash, a tripod, a camera, several lenses, and sometimes two or more bodies to supplement the seat. After the shooting is finished, I will stay up late to retouch the pictures and catch up with the film. Older people often play ok, but as professionals, they really can't stand it.
