I am 19 years old and want to learn photography. But I don't know where to start.

The first aspect is equipment. You must have certain equipment. I won't say much about this, depending on everyone's situation. Beginners don't want too good equipment, just choose some practical equipment. You can find a lot of this content on the Internet, and many equipment manufacturers also have entry-level equipment specifically for beginners.

The second aspect is my own practice in aesthetics, optics, photography, life, the world and so on. We don't call people who can take pictures photographers, because there are too many such people, and we only call those who take pictures particularly well photographers. The difference lies in whether you can express your ideas with the equipment at hand.

Therefore, in the process of learning, you should start from several aspects.

First of all, to learn how to use the equipment completely, we should not only read the instructions, but also use a lot of materials. I found a lot of related content on the internet to read. You should fully understand your equipment, hold them well, and know when to take pictures with what mode, how much aperture and how many shutters.

In the second aspect, you should read more masters' books, understand the meaning of every movie they make, and then imitate it. See if the equipment in your hand can also produce such an effect. Don't think that the master's equipment is very good, and it is often not as good as yours, because the technology is improving. )

Third, find the direction you want to go. There are many kinds of photography, including news photography, people like photography, landscape photography, animal photography and more subdivided photography, only bird photography, and so on. You find a style you like among the many categories, and then stick to it. When you do this well enough, you will soon catch other categories.

Photography is a kind of practice. Different times, different times, different people, different societies, different ideas and so on. Will be shown in your photography. Practice is endless. Photography is endless. Only by going on, will you gradually discover yourself and know what photography is. When your interest comes, please go all out. When you are tired, please think. When you can't find your way.
