Photography What qualities and abilities does an excellent fashion and portrait photographer need?

A good photographer should have many conditions. From rich knowledge and insight to keen observation, diligent work and learning attitude, and enthusiasm for others. Photography itself is a visual art where thoughts and emotions intersect. The lens in the photographer's hand is just like the pen in the painter's hand, and it can accept the creative instructions of the master. As for how to stimulate the emotions hidden in the human heart to express, this is the direction that photographers should work hard.

Becoming a professional photographer may be every photographer's dream-being able to take pictures every day, having professional equipment, living with the income from photography, supporting the family and paying off the mortgage (maybe someone wants to use this "romantic" career to find their other half). However, the life of a real professional photographer is not so chic.

1. Sometimes I don't know what my next job is, and sometimes I have to work all night for several days: for most photographers, work always comes unexpectedly after a long wait. Can you live those free days?

2. Accept temporary tasks and finish shooting and editing quickly. For all photographers, the working deadline is always getting tighter and tighter.

Be familiar with the existing working methods, and at the same time be able to keep learning new technologies and use them in the first place: photography is constantly changing and will not stop, so you must be.

4. Know the difference between RF, RM, CC, FR and RR: As a professional photographer, you need to know royalties and several abbreviations. RF: free; RM: restricted copyright; CC: creative protection; FR: full resolution picture; RR: limited resolution

5. Can make photo albums: It is easier to attract customers by making photos into a group of photos than by providing only a batch of photos. Because taking a group photo can not only show your talent, but also show that you are a reliable photographer.

6. When there is no project, you can teach photography or write books: this can help you maintain a basic source of life, refuse jobs you don't like, and maintain your enthusiasm for photography.

7. You can communicate with people from different classes easily, and you must be able to adapt to different subjects and environments.

8. Maintain good cooperation with customers, editors and agents: photography is commercial, and the people you know are as important as your talents. You must know how to organize and maintain your network.

9. Being able to tell others what to do and willing to accept orders from others: As a commercial photographer, you need to tell models how to pose, and at the same time, you need to shoot according to other people's orders.

10. Know how to deal with cooperation and competition: photographers can be a close team, or they may always compete for the best photos. In the process of completing the work, you need to know when to cooperate and when to be stubborn.

1 1. When your photos appear in galleries, front pages or bookstores, you can enjoy pride: being a professional photographer is hard work, but it will also give you rich rewards.

As a professional and excellent photographer, there are many photographic accomplishments, which are difficult to sum up in words, because some of them can be felt imperceptibly at work, and what we can learn in our usual work is not just summarized in the words in books. The times are progressing and people are changing with the times, so as excellent photographers, we have really learned a lot, and we should follow the pace of the times to improve everything we need to do.
