"22" Listen to the live broadcast "How to get your photography out of the circle of friends"

Accidentally saw photographer Timothy? Wang shared this on the spot and thought the content was quite good, so he planned to record some notes and dry goods he heard here.

This live broadcast is aimed at three groups of people: novices, bottleneck fans and fans seeking new ways to play.

This live broadcast mainly focuses on the following seven questions:

1. What's the difference between professional photography and amateur photography?

Photography is divided into commercial photography and artistic photography. Commercial photography is a form of photography that exists for profit and meets the needs of customers. Artistic photography is a non-profit photography that expresses artists' feelings and thoughts.

The core of commercial photography is mainly reflected in technology and specialty. Simply put, it is the ability to take beautiful and exquisite photos, and the ability to meet customer requirements and make customers satisfied and happy.

The professionalism of artistic photography is dispensable. It is often amateurs who reach the peak of art, but those who are closest to the essence of photography are those who have not risen to the professional level.

Second, what kind of photos are good photos?

Ordinary people only judge photos by their quality, beauty and ugliness, but now the evaluation of photos is a pluralistic system.

The evaluation system of critics (multi-system);

1. Look at the content. Feel the information arranged by the author in his works through his senses.

2. Look at the author. Art is a private thing, which cannot be separated from the author's thoughts and feelings.

3. Time to see artists. The times affect artists, and their thoughts, consciousness, environment and experiences are deeply reflected in their works.

4. Look at the influence of artworks. Art is regarded as the transmission of ideas, and if there is transmission, there will be influence.

Third, is the equipment important?

For photography, these things are equivalent to brushes. For oil painting, a good brush may not be able to draw a good picture, but for those who really love painting, they can create better works without a good brush.

Fourth, how to choose the subject matter and theme of photography?

The difference between daily snapshots and photographic works lies in the lack of theme and focus. Random photos may miss some important information, so you need to add a theme before shooting to prevent omission.

The master photographer's works say something, which is mapped to a series of content cores such as social beliefs and philosophy. Photos without themes can only stay in the circle of friends.

Two ways to create a theme from scratch:

1. Random theme, looking for the connection between things to shoot. (Shooting of similar objects)

2. After knowing the simple connection, go to find the more complicated continuous shooting (shooting along the river ...).

5. What channels can I show my photos when I leave my circle of friends?

Network platform: lofter, Toxoplasma gondii, Zhihu.

For a work to be seen, the most important thing is to insist on publishing, maintain the frequency of publishing, and accumulate fans and their own collections.

Be optimistic about the characteristics of photos, think and summarize, find your own direction and improve the quality of photos.

6. What are the misunderstandings in each stage of photography?

Myth: 1 Taking pictures is a process of pleasing yourself. Don't care too much about what others think. Don't pay attention to the compliments that others give you. The number of praises is eye-catching.

2. Good equipment and superb technology can barely be established for commercial photography; For artistic photographic equipment, it is only an aid. Sometimes equipment and technology may become the limitations of creation, become casual and everything becomes interesting.

3. Don't shoot for the sake of shooting.

7. What photographers are worthy of attention on the open platform?
