I want to learn photography, but how?

1, learn photography, just teach yourself. Photography is easy to get started, but difficult to advance. The basic knowledge of photography is very simple, and you can master it by yourself (of course, it will be better to have a teacher explain it); The improvement of photography mainly depends on understanding, and the teacher's teaching is basically useless. Photography school is not very important, and the communication significance is greater than the teaching significance;

2, learning photography first needs photographic equipment, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and then shoot more and feel more;

3. Self-study photography theory with thick equipment is a necessary procedure. If you don't learn photography theory, you can't learn photography;

4. There are two important parts in photography theory, one is exposure theory; Second, the composition theory is easy to understand and master in these photography books or tutorials;

5. In the exposure theory, it is more important to understand and recognize the aperture, shutter, sensitivity (ISO) and its reciprocal rate. It can be used with equipment to perceive imaging characteristics under different apertures, shutters and ISO, and other special terms such as depth of field, high sensitivity and low sensitivity should be understood. After mastering the operation essentials of the equipment (all the equipment are similar), I basically mastered the basic knowledge of photography;

6. In composition theory, it is mainly to master the elements such as perspective and visual guidance, and understand the key points of different compositions such as balanced composition, diagonal composition and trisection composition, which is the basis of advanced photography. Under the same shooting technique, better composition can improve the quality of the work;

7. Learn the late technology. All photography is inseparable from post-technology. There are different application software and corresponding tutorials for the later technology, including online books and explanations. Post-technology needs systematic learning, and post-teaching is meaningful. Of course, self-study can also be done;

8. Learning the theoretical knowledge of adjacent disciplines such as art and aesthetics, which are interlinked with photography, is also an important part of advanced photography;

9. The general procedure of learning photography is: buying equipment-basic knowledge-copying pictures-independent creation.
