How to get started quickly in photography?

To put it simply, I can help you if you reduce how to get started quickly to taking a good portrait and then to taking a better portrait than ordinary people.

1. Portrait photography mainly focuses on fixed focus in China (of course, some people say that many good scenes are ruined forever), but for beginners, the most common pain point is that the subject is unclear, the background is chaotic, or it is often burnt when the light is not good. At this time, good equipment can help you.

Here I recommend 6d+50 1.4 (cost-effective package).

Equipment is a penny, first enter the equipment, and then keep up with the brain.

2. After buying the equipment, buy another new york Photography Bible, scan it quickly, just once, repeat it, just once.

Just learn to use the settings only need to use one gear, center focus, one or two gear maximum aperture reversal, continuous shooting, automatic iso, automatic white balance, evaluation metering, jpg output.

(This is the basic knowledge. Just sweep it and you'll understand. Don't worry about anything else. )

3. Find a photographer in a down-to-earth way, spend two hours analyzing his 50 groups of works, and return to his angle, ideas, ideas, etc. From the aspects of composition, color, collocation and planning.

4. Learn lr and know how to use presets (if you are not so lazy, know how to adjust manually).

5. Learn ps and know how to use plug-ins (learn the usage of each tool in advance)

Summary:

In fact, quick entry is only needed, which is not empty. The above five points can be solved within 20 hours, but many students spend less than 20 hours in it, so they always want to find shortcuts. If they spend time looking for shortcuts in their studies, they have already started.

That's my answer.

It's done.
