If you want to learn photography well,

1, just getting started, you'd better buy the most basic and comprehensive photography books to study systematically. Personally, I recommend the photography textbook (Volume II) of the New York Institute of Photography, and you must lay a good foundation in the early stage.

2. After having a certain basic knowledge, I usually make more movies and communicate with my friends.

3. Reading more books on art, such as chromatics and aesthetics, is very beneficial to the improvement of photography.

4. Find opportunities to read more works of masters, learn to appreciate and comment from a professional perspective, and imitate them to deepen the understanding of works.

It takes about a year to learn the basic knowledge in the early stage, and then you can teach yourself. Later, you forced yourself to train yourself deeply in thematic photography (landscape, portrait, photo studio, still life, architecture, humanities, news, etc.). ) and decide your future development direction.

In fact, the current photography is not so advanced, and it is largely influenced by its own aesthetics, aesthetic literacy and social experience.
