How to learn photography systematically, and how to start learning photography later?

1. Familiar with photographic equipment. Whether you use a mobile phone or a camera, the first step in learning photography is to be familiar with photographic equipment. The manual of the camera is your first photography textbook. You must be familiar with the manual. I've read the instructions for my first camera three times and I haven't fully understood them. Getting familiar with your camera (or mobile phone) is the first step.

2. The theoretical basis of photography. The theoretical study of photography includes the use of shutter, shooting methods of high-speed shutter and slow shutter; Adjustment and control of aperture, ISO and white balance in various shooting situations. At least we need to understand the relationship between the three elements of exposure (shutter aperture ISO) and the influence on photo exposure. And some commonly used photographic parameter settings, photographic terms and so on.

3, composition, composition is the key to a photo, the basic shooting framing, shooting angle selection need to know, master the basic composition principles and laws, can form their own photography composition habits, and can use the light, color and lines in the shooting environment to spread the photo composition. There is nothing to say about composition, and you need more practice to form your own habit of photographic composition.

4, post-processing, post-processing is a step that a good photo must go through. Some people don't like the post-processing of photos, thinking that post-processing will change the physical objects of photos. This statement is not very desirable. I dare say that almost all people who have this idea will not do the later stage. Post-processing is not changing photos. Reasonable and appropriate post-processing can make up for the defects of the previous photos and enhance the aesthetic feeling of the photos. Learning post-processing of photography requires mastering the basic operation of commonly used post-processing software, understanding various post-processing methods, and most importantly, being able to see the problems of photos and form correct post-processing ideas.
