New experience of commercial photography

I admire a photographer's ability to observe the essence of things, his pure skills and accumulated experience. So, I want to get close to the photographer's ability. When I finished this basic photography course, I only learned the names and meanings of shutter, aperture, sensitivity and so on. I learned not only the skills of operating the camera and the classic composition method, but also the habit of observing, comparing myself to a camera and paying attention to the beauty, macro and micro of this vast world with still eyes.

From the elective course, I learned about the development history of cameras. In the past, the cost of photography was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and only aristocrats or rich people could explore its charm. In the early days, photography was only used as a documentary function, and its artistic function was weakened by heavy equipment and even longer exposure time than painting. Later, the portability of optical film cameras was greatly enhanced, and optical cameras used film for photography. It is impossible to know whether they are satisfied or not on the spot, and they will not know until they are developed. It is inevitable to waste a lot of film and the cost is high, so optical photography is often a pity. Mirror? For example, if you don't press the shutter easily, or even accidentally take a photo, you won't know the result until you go back to develop it. It is difficult to be dissatisfied, and it is too late to remedy it. Therefore, old photographers often lament that optical photography is an art full of regrets.

In the era of digital cameras, with the development of science and technology, cameras are getting smaller and smaller, and cameras are everywhere. If a mobile phone belongs to a camera, everyone will have one, and everyone has the ability to record interesting things. SLR camera with telephoto lens can take distant scenery and portraits into the memory card, and everything becomes simple and convenient. Technology is people-oriented, and technology reduces the cost of pressing the shutter. In fact, when we pick up the equipment in our hands, we should grasp the essence of photography and use more sophisticated equipment to capture moving beautiful moments, not just taking pictures. We have more opportunities to practice. We can play back and observe the photos immediately. If you are not satisfied, you can choose several scenes around what you want to shoot. After each scene turns around it several times, we can draw up shooting plans under different angles and different lighting conditions, such as backlight, backlight, photometry, etc., record the combined data of each group of exposures, accumulate experience, and be more handy in the future.

Photography, I think, is a discipline with strict technical requirements, and it is also a test of our artistic accomplishment. Photography has been discovered rapidly since its birth, which contains infinite commercial value and artistic potential. The development of photography not only promotes the development of photography technology, but also accelerates the development of photography art. Photography occupies an important position in the history of human development and has made outstanding contributions to human history.

Through the photography course, I first got a new and deeper understanding of photography. In the past, I simply thought that photography was just to take beautiful photos with a camera, but through the course of photography, I know that photography is not simply to show beautiful shapes, but more importantly, it is the perception of photography, the content of photos and the understanding of the stories behind photos, so as to achieve the unity of content and form.

In class, I first learned the detailed usage of the camera, the structure of the camera and its imaging principle. By learning the lens, I learned the function of focal length. Through the study of aperture, we learned how to control the depth of field by changing the aperture, that is, large aperture, small aperture and large depth of field. Of course, the method of changing the depth of field can also be controlled by focal length and distance. Then we learned the most important lesson of photography, that is the use of light.

The teacher said that photography can also be said to be painting with light, and the charm of photography mainly comes from the use of light. Without light, there is no light and shadow, and you can't see the object being photographed. Different lighting effects can also show different visual effects. For example, people's skin is whiter than light, and the outline is softer, which is suitable for shooting women, while photometry will produce a certain shadow, which is more likely to show the three-dimensional sense of people or objects, while backlighting and side backlighting.

Photography has important artistic aesthetic value. Because photography has artistic value, reflects the objective world and leads the fashion trend. Photography is a purposeful and socially meaningful practice. Each era has its own fashion trend, aesthetic concept, aesthetic ideal and cultural accomplishment. Based on real life, commercial photography sublimates the art of life and refines the most popular, cutting-edge, fashionable and sublime mainstream culture of the times, so it can better reflect the economic development degree of the real society. Photography is a comprehensive subject. Commercial photography not only requires photographers to master the use of photographic equipment skillfully, but also requires photographers to have more life experience, cultural knowledge, high ideological taste, strong communication skills and so on. The photographer plays the role of designing and making pictures. The accomplishment, self-restraint and taste of photographers directly affect the effect of photographic works. Therefore, the photographer is the subject of photography, and the subject is only the carrier to convey the photographer's photography ideas. The depth and breadth of the photographer's thoughts determine the ideas conveyed by the photographic works and directly affect the audience's cognition of the subject.

Photography must have a clear theme, and the theme must have weight. Photography also needs enough endurance and the spirit of not being afraid of loneliness. Photography needs not only enthusiasm, but also perseverance and time. As a photographer in the 2 1 century, we should learn as much cultural knowledge as possible in different fields, grasp the information of the times, lead the trend of the times, improve people's spiritual life with photography and meet people's spiritual and material needs.

The premise of doing everything well is persistence, and so is photography. A persistent enthusiasm, continuous observation and practice accumulation, I have gained joy on this road and paid more spirit.

Gradually, I have a newer and more comprehensive understanding of learning photography. The correct way to learn photography technology should start with a comprehensive understanding of the whole process of photo formation, rather than focusing on technical details too early. This includes two aspects, on the one hand, the understanding of the photographic equipment and the photographic process itself, on the other hand, the understanding of the diversified visual ways that objectively, truly and accurately constitute the image picture, and the understanding of the self-expression and public interpretation of the work. And photography has given me a lot of feelings. Photography must first be imaginative, inspired, observe new things and leave every corner around, in order to shoot good works. You must also grasp the theme, try to shoot from different angles, see and think, often learn more theoretical knowledge, take more pictures, consult teachers and communicate with classmates, and you will have different feelings and gains.

If you want to improve your photography skills and leave a beautiful scene in front of your eyes, it is definitely not enough to talk without practicing, and it is not just as simple as pressing the shutter casually. Photography is a comprehensive art, and there is still a lot of knowledge to learn and practice to take good photos.
