Is it difficult to teach yourself photography?

You can't teach yourself photography. Photography itself is a hobby. If you have a good interest, it is easy to get started. When you are a beginner, you should read more basic knowledge of photography and lay a good foundation, which will lead to good development in the future. Be careful not to learn with skill and purpose! Photography equipment must be SLR to learn photography, otherwise everything will be zero. Photography is a marginal science, which requires photographers to master a lot of knowledge, so we must observe and understand more in our life and work. So that your kung fu can be superior. I wish you a smooth study in the future. Only persistence is the only way to succeed!
