Turn my hobby into a career and tell me about my personal experience.

I think everyone has dreams and things they like to do since childhood. But with the gradual growth of age, career, family and parents just want to stay in the comfort zone; Some things that I want to do but dare not do have become regrets ~

I studied physical education in high school, but in the talented school team, my grades were average; If you don't get into the sports school you dream of, you will enter the society early.

I stayed at home for half a month and started my trip to the north with my hair.

At that time, he worked as a kitchen in a chain restaurant, so I went to the front desk to serve; I did it for three years, and I went out to play every holiday for three years. Usually, the only fun is taking pictures, so I asked him to punch in at the tourist attractions in Beijing and take pictures of him with his mobile phone. Gradually, I want to change careers more and more strongly.

In this way, I resigned from the restaurant and went to a photo studio as an assistant, and began to learn photography and understand photography.

I remember when I first started working, I was curious about everything, such as lights, scenes, styles, cameras ... The most important thing is that I didn't know any of them, so I just did some manual work. I am very tired but full every day, and occasionally I have the idea of giving up. Really tired ~ but I always believe that as long as you keep paying, you will always get something. During that time, I have been very motivated. In a blink of an eye, I have been an assistant for almost a year. I really learned a lot this year, but I feel I haven't learned much. Later, I learned that it was because I was in the environment, because there were excellent photographers around you, and I could only feel my progress if I had the opportunity ~

At that time, the company branch needed a photographer and wanted to promote a new person from within. I volunteered, and the leader asked me to ask the model to shoot a set of works to test my skills; I didn't let the leader and myself down, but I was successfully recognized by the leader. It was the first time I had a sense of accomplishment in this industry. Soon, I went to the branch library and started my photography career.

At this time, I really achieved cross-industry success and became a dream photographer ~
