Some people are curious, is the post-editor a photographer? This issue is controversial in both the editorial circle and the photography circle. The author thinks that post-editing may or may not be. It's good to be able to photograph, but it doesn't matter if you can't. The so-called post-editing is mainly responsible for the image output part, and there is no direct relationship between whether you can take pictures and post-output. Mihir McNally, the image director of Fortune magazine, once said, "I have never been a photographer, but I have met people who have been photographers and then edited videos. Most of them may take their own experience and ideas to see the photos of other video photographers when taking pictures, which has limitations. Some photographers failed after switching to video editing. Of course, there are people who worked as photographers and later became image editors, but there are few such people, and the requirements of image editors and photographers for knowledge structure are different. Film and television camera editors need to know more than photography. " From this point of view, not every post-editor needs to master rich photography techniques and skills. Of course, if you know some photography techniques and skills, it may be helpful to the post-editing work of film and television camera.
