Boys should never learn photography? Is there any way out for boys to learn photography?

Photography allows us to record the bits and pieces in life and keep the beautiful moments in life. It has not only become a way to record life, but also gradually formed a new industry. There is also a photography major in the university, so that everyone can learn the knowledge and skills of photography more systematically. Then why do some people say that boys should never learn photography? Is there any way out for boys to learn photography? The teacher will give you the answer in this article.

First, boys should never learn photography?

On the Internet, the teacher found that the photography major was dismissed for several reasons:

1) It's too expensive to learn photography.

If you want to learn photography well, you need not only good technology, but also professional equipment, and good equipment is generally expensive. It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that "photography destroys three generations and SLR is poor for a lifetime".

There are thousands of good cameras. In order to take more professional photos, you need to buy lenses with different focal lengths, such as fixed-focus lenses, wide-angle lenses and telephoto lenses. These lenses are also expensive.

Many people may have to buy a lot of props needed in the shooting process, and tripods, external flashlights, camera bags and so on are also necessary accessories. These miscellaneous things add up to a lot of expenses.

2) It is not good for your health to use your eyes in the later stage of photography and work at your desk for a long time.

A good photo needs to be adjusted later, such as overall brightness/exposure, contrast and white balance of the image. Make them look more in line with everyone's aesthetics and look better.

The post-work of photos pays great attention to details. You have to face the computer for a long time and adjust it bit by bit. Sitting in front of the computer for several hours will not only cause eye fatigue, but also have a very bad effect on lumbar and cervical vertebrae. It is easy to become lumbar disc herniation after years.

3) Aesthetics is very subjective, and a photographic work that you think is good may not be accepted and recognized by people.

When photography becomes a profession, we should not only consider our own aesthetics, but also combine the needs of customers. Everyone's aesthetic is very different, so photographers often encounter some strange needs. Many photos may be taken well by photographers, but some customers will feel bad and be questioned a lot, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

2. Is there any way out for boys to learn photography?

Although there are many disadvantages in learning photography, it is not impossible for boys to learn photography.

Photography is still a new industry, and the market demand is still great. It is a good choice to engage in this industry. You can take an examination of a freelance photographer and do some private work. Not only the working hours are free, but also the income is considerable.

If you want to work steadily, you can also engage in photography, editing, curating and publicity in companies such as film publicity materials companies, TV stations, advertising companies and cultural communication companies.

Now that the new media industry is still developing, you can learn some skills of shooting and video editing, and there will be more outlets in the future.

Although there are many difficulties to overcome in learning photography, it is not without a way out. Candidates don't need to pay too much attention to those words of persuasion on the Internet. Professional choice depends on personal hobbies. If you really like photography, please apply boldly!
