A must-read book for beginners of photography.

I heard that you want to learn photography? Then I recommend two books to you.

Best recommendation for digital photography: Introduction to Digital Photography or Introduction to Digital SLR Photography by China Power Press. These two books are official tutorials of Oak Photography Network, which are very systematic and cover all aspects of digital photography. It is very popular at present, and it is the best two digital photography books written by domestic authors.

1, learn simple ps post-processing. If you have money in your wallet, you can buy Photoshop CS3 digital photo professional processing technology (color printing) (79 yuan). If you have no money, you can buy Photoshop digital photo processing technology. Full-color printing will not go to 30 yuan after the discount. This book is written entirely from the photographer's point of view, which is very simple and easy to learn. Every case is typical, and the handling method is simple and absolute.

Best recommendation of Photoshop books: Photoshop digital photo processing skills encyclopedia, which is the easiest ps book to learn at present. Many ps books can't be read and learned, but even the elderly who don't understand computer operation can learn this book. In addition, this book contains almost all the problems that photographers encounter when dealing with digital photos. There are also DVD discs and video tutorials, which are really easy to learn.

2. Learn composition and use up. China Youth Publishing House not only has a signature book "Digital SLR Photography Bible", but also books with light consumption and composition are the best in China, such as Composition Photography Composition and Two Raiders for Photography Composition. Of course, the digital photography composition written by Koreans is also very good, and the reputation is also good. My suggestion is that if you have money, you can buy all these books back. After all, different authors have different aesthetic views and perspectives, and we should absorb them comprehensively and completely.

3. Student processing. Some people say that the textbook of New York Photography Institute and the Bible of digital SLR photography are professional books, but they are not at all. They are all big and complete literacy books. Can help you know a little from scratch. If you want to master truly professional digital photography technology, you must understand the raw format. I recommend two books, Photoshop Lightroom photographer (color printing) RAW and full analysis of professional techniques, especially RAW full analysis, which can help you change from an amateur photographer to a professional photographer.

The best recommendation of raw professional digital photography books: Full Analysis of raw, which is the first book in RAW format originally created by China people, gives an in-depth explanation of Adams' regional exposure method and right exposure theory, and introduces the shooting secrets and processing skills of RAW format in detail. In particular, the introduction of Lihgtroom and Nikon NX2 is in place. With this book, many books on landscape photography PS techniques do not need to be purchased at all. In a word, this book can help you achieve perfect picture quality. I heard from friends on Wuji that the copyright of this book has been sold to Taiwan Province Province, which is a very rare professional digital photography skill book sold to Taiwan Province Province in recent years.

4. Primer for combustion machines. Most photographers like to play with equipment. I think Zhao Jia's twelve volumes of The Art of War and top photographic equipment are very good. Although reading these books has little effect on improving photography skills and enhancing aesthetic vision, they can make us have fun, hehe.

Conclusion: Finally, I personally think that most of Japan and Taiwan Province Province are? Album? The pictures are really gorgeous, but in fact, they are all very superficial sugar water photographs, and nothing practical can be learned. These digital photography books in Taiwan Province and Japan are far from the best-selling practical photographers in the world, such as Kelby, Yanzi, Yang Pin and Lei Yili.

Of course, someone said? Learn poetry other than poetry? So is photography. If you really want to take good photos, you should strengthen your artistic accomplishment. Therefore, I recommend you to read Feng Zikai's books on art and humanities such as Talk about Famous Paintings, Art of Man and Course of Beauty, which will definitely enhance your aesthetic vision more than the pure photography books recommended above.
