I'm 17 years old and starting my second year of high school. I want to learn photography, so I started to learn painting. I have some questions to ask everyone. Thank you dear.

I am about to enter my second year of high school. Of course, it is not too early to start studying art, but it cannot be said to be too late. It is completely too late. I have seen many art students, including music and art students, who started to pursue art at a time like yours, or even later, when they really felt that studying engineering or literature was no longer enough. There are many successful examples, but you have to be mentally prepared: it will be quite hard.

Almost every city has "crash" or "sprint" art tutoring for the college entrance examination. Find someone knowledgeable to ask. They will have some "know-how" about the exam that you can learn from.

As for learning photography, I think there are probably four directions in the future: portrait photography, art photography, photojournalism and graphic design.

The portraits are nothing more than wedding dresses and children. It is not difficult to make a living, but it is not easy for a newlywed to steal other people's jobs.

Art is more like advertising, the requirements are relatively high, and it is difficult to achieve customer satisfaction.

News is relatively simple, but the writing has to pass, and it is a chore.

The graphic design market is relatively large, and it is difficult to find high-level designers now.

So from the above analysis, I think design and post-production should be easier professions to gain a foothold in. Of course, this is an extension of photography.

The biggest connection between photography and fine art is the connection between composition and color. It is not difficult to apply what you have learned in art to photography and produce good photography. The key lies in the idea of ??the work.

How to play with the camera, what aperture to use, how high the shutter speed, etc., these are technical things that can be mastered quickly; but to express your thoughts through pictures, you have to let others see it. Understand, this requires your own understanding.

Picking up the camera and taking more photos is one thing and another way to practice your skills. You also need to read more excellent works, try to understand the author's ideas, think more, try more, and you may find a method that suits you.

If you are really confident, can endure hardships, and feel that you still have some inspiration in art, there is no harm in giving it a try.
