Eight reasons why you love photography.

Photography allows you to record every bit of life. Or scenery, or people, you know, you don't know, you love, love you. If you take them beautifully and artistically, you, who is not involved in them, will feel full and happy when you see these photos many years later.

I'll give you eight reasons why we need photography and why we love photography!

1, photography makes you pay attention to details.

When you really like photography, you will gradually form the habit of paying attention to details in your daily life. You will start to pay attention to light, shadows, colors, lines, expressions and so on. And look for points that can move you and your picture in a seemingly ordinary environment. And these common things around you will change subtly and magically in your attention, which will make you have the impulse to take pictures.

2. Photography lets you learn to discover.

For me, photography is the art of observation, finding interesting places in ordinary places. There is little you can do about what you see, but there are many ways to observe it.

Observing the surrounding environment and ourselves is not for personal benefit, but an innate pursuit, which should be the reason and motivation for our shooting.

When you begin to pay attention to the details of life, you will gradually find all kinds of beauty in life that others ignore-sunset in smog, flowers on the roadside, projection of buildings, pigeons under the blue sky, endless traffic and the process of a tree in the yard from germination to lush to dead branches. Because in your mind, these can be interesting pictures in your lens. This discovery will bring you great pleasure and even strengthen your love for life. This is your life fun!

3. Photography makes you live in the present.

When taking pictures, you are facing the real scene in front of you at the moment. What you are thinking about is how to make the best record with the lens, how to express your attitude and emotion at this moment with the lens, and how to tell the story in front of you well. At this moment, the past, the joys and sorrows of life, the tension and confusion of work will all be forgotten by you, and you have no time to worry about it. At this moment, you live in the present, photography is forgetful, and photography is a good medicine to forget your troubles.

In terms of work, photography is also a good way to adjust, so that people can unload heavy burdens, forget their troubles, get back on their feet and move forward lightly.

4. Photography makes you face the challenge.

In fact, photography is very difficult, and it is even more difficult to become a master photographer. Therefore, when you choose photography, you will inevitably face the challenges of photography technology, light and shadow, composition, whether you can tell a good story through the picture, and the critical eye of the viewer. In the face of challenges, what you need is to study and settle down; What you need is ideas, to innovate. What matters is your eyes, different perspectives and novel story techniques.

5. Photography lets you express yourself freely.

The camera is in your hand, the choice of lens, the way of composition and the shooting skills all depend on you. In post-production, you like color saturation, picture clarity and contrast between light and dark, so photography is your chance to express your emotions freely. Let readers feel your feelings, emotions and thoughts when shooting through the picture.

6. Photography makes you understand the trade-offs.

The difference between photography and painting is that painting is the art of addition, while photography is the art of subtraction. Therefore, when you like photography, you should start to learn the way to choose, and you can get it if you give up. Give up, the subject will be more prominent; Only by giving up can we express what we want to express more effectively. Trade-offs are actually an attitude towards life.

7. Photography makes you know how to share.

Photos are for people to see, which is a kind of sharing. Isn't it interesting to share your photography achievements, photography experiences and later thinking with your family and friends?

Sharing is mutual communication, and sharing is mutual enlightenment. We should share the hardships of doing things and the joy of success in our work; We should share the hard and sweet happiness in life. Because we are together.

8. Photography lets you know the importance of looking back.

Many times on the road of photography, I only focus on the beautiful scenery in front of me, but I never want to look back. The most beautiful scenery is behind me. In retrospect, this has become my photography habit. At work and in life, we also need to look back often, sum up and reflect, and then make better progress.
