The photographic structure starts with sweet syrup tablets.

Lead: Many students may ask what kind of equipment is this? Let's talk about it in advance here: a SLR body, an 85 fixed-focus lens and a 24-70 zoom lens. Reflector+overhead flash+group shooting. It's simple. Photographs are taken everywhere in the surrounding parks. Patterning and exposure control are optical keys.

The so-called sugar water tablets in the photography circle mean that people who pick up the camera now pay less and less attention to the meaning of the photos themselves, but pay attention to the aesthetic feeling presented by the photos. Shooting a large number of portraits, blindly pursuing sweet, handsome and sexy formal beauty and ignoring the connotation of the subject matter and what the creator wants to express.

But why do you say that as a beginner in photography, you should shoot well? Sugar water tablets? As a basic skill requirement? Mainly consider the following points:

First, good sugar water tablets have high technical requirements. We are studying the technical indexes such as aperture, focal length, white balance, sensitivity, exposure, color, color temperature, saturation, light and shade, truth, depth of field, gradation and contrast. , also grinding used equipment such as cameras, lenses and films. Even though photography is a relatively popular aesthetic carrier, good skill learning and storage are the basis for creating a beautiful visual presentation. We need to understand the fact that beauty is easier to present in dreams. However, the realization of dreams requires your skilled hands, so taking sugar water tablets is a basic exercise and also an improvement of our skills.

Second, there is a process of affirmation-negation-negation in knowledge, skill and artistic thought. Photography art learning has a process of coming from reality, practicing in reality and surpassing reality. In the affirmative stage, we should have a rational analysis and grasp of composition, such as diagonal line, parallel line, triangle, trapezoid, symmetry, asymmetry, area, volume, distance relationship, virtual and real relationship, primary and secondary relationship, light and heavy relationship and so on. ? Is learning tangible? Can it be used invisibly? This is the same reason that we have to grope with one finger when we first learn computer keyboard, and we can close our eyes and type blindly in the end. And making sugar water tablets is a key step to lay a good foundation in the affirmative stage.

3. Portrait photography, as a team's collective participation in creation, has the ability to create a perfect image for your subject, which is a basic foundation. Just like the sketch that Leonardo da Vinci threw away when he first drew an egg, it is estimated that it was picked up as toilet paper. Now you have to have the original, but it can be worth tens of millions. Has the value of the painting itself increased? It is only because the stream of consciousness and culture represented by this painting have had enough influence to enhance its value. When you have no ability to influence and guide others with your stream of consciousness and your values. Having the ability to shape people's aesthetic habits is the basis for you to keep working as a team. Otherwise, the place your lens faces is full of desolation and panic, which is estimated to be a great blow not only to this team, but also to your self-confidence.

Of course, while I said that taking sugar water tablets is the basic requirement of photography learners. It is also constantly emphasized that the decisive factor that ultimately makes you progress and progress depends on your ideas and creativity. Technology will tend to be homogeneous to a certain extent, and the scope that an ordinary subject can expand is limited after all. If the primary stage of photography learning is to strive for technical strength, then how far and how high you can go in the future depends on your self-cultivation and how deep your understanding of the world is from your heart. I hope there will be more masters in China, and China will rise in this world. Besides hard economic strength, we should also rely on our soft power to export our values. The so-called body can die, but the spirit can last forever.
