Why do young artists like photography very much and hate painting?

Photography seems to be a popular skill now. When many people choose to learn a skill, they begin to choose photography as their first choice. Moreover, when many children choose to learn extracurricular skills, their parents will choose to send them to learn photography, which naturally shows how popular photography is now! Many young artists have begun to give up painting and turn to photography!

The main reason is that painting is not suitable for everyone. In a sense, painting is about talent. Although people without talent can make up for their congenital deficiencies through the efforts of the day after tomorrow, they spend too much energy, time and money on the study of the day after tomorrow, and their income in the later period is uncertain. In other words, many people spend a lot of manpower to learn painting, but the final level is still very general, and it is difficult to have any outstanding achievements!

Moreover, at present, photography has become a popular skill and the pursuit of photography in society, which has led to a trend of learning photography. Seeing this social fashion, those young artists will naturally learn photography with the public! Moreover, photography takes less time and energy than painting, even if it needs more money, it is nothing compared with learning to paint!

The last reason is that the threshold for learning photography is relatively low. As long as you want to learn, even if you don't have any professional knowledge and skills, you can make up for it by learning the day after tomorrow, and everyone's overall level is similar, there will be no special difference! Photography is an industry in which pay and income are relatively proportional, so many young artists are willing to invest in it!
