How do beginners learn photography well?

Nowadays, many photographers like to split colors into monochrome or black-and-white works to highlight their works. This is a good method, but once you watch more such works, your sensitivity to color will also decrease. This is not a good thing, so when studying, color works are still the direction of efforts.

* It's good for you to absorb as many diverse styles as possible.

Study composition and theory. The more works you watch, the more you need to learn the rules of composition and related theories when you enter the actual shooting stage. There are many such books on the market, you can learn to imitate them. In the study of composition, some people will say that it is unnecessary, but they must learn. Good composition can make the work more acceptable to the audience. Although it is not absolute, it is the experience gained after statistical analysis. Then it will be transformed into the law of composition that we believe in until we can blend in naturally, and then there is no need for so-called composition.

But before that stage comes, the rules of composition still need to be learned. Of course, for theoretical things, you can look at some books by truly internationally recognized photographers. There are many books in foreign languages, and many people in China can translate them and even become their own theories. The suggestion is to directly translate foreign documents. It is convenient to translate the parts that you don't understand now, so don't be confused by those scattered Chinese documents.
