What do I need to buy to learn photography?

First of all, you have to have a shooting equipment.

Before buying shooting equipment, think about what you are learning photography for. Is it work? (wedding studio microfilm) or entertainment (family photo shooting model, freelance photographer, travel).

The former, it is suggested that before learning photography, you should know the advantages and disadvantages of several major brands of cameras on the market (here, the advantages and disadvantages do not refer to the advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages and disadvantages) and choose a camera suitable for your own development direction. In the latter case, your high-pixel mobile phone or beauty camera or card machine is enough. As a freelance photographer, the idea and artistic conception of images are always greater than the quality and quality of images. Just as you can't talk to Picasso about the authenticity of portraits.

Then master your equipment.

Whether it's a SLR or a mobile phone or a card machine. You must first understand what you can do, what changes you can make, and use them skillfully. A person who can only use it is completely different from a person who knows all the working principles of his own equipment. For example, reverse the lens and add sunglasses to the mobile phone to increase the exposure shutter time.

Finally, improve their cultural background and aesthetics.

Photography is not painting, aesthetics is secondary. Pictures can be ugly, but they must reflect an idea or a sentence you want to say. Others say you are ugly, which only shows that you have aesthetic problems, because you have to take into account his aesthetics. If others say that you are not deep enough, it is a matter of cultivation and knowledge.
