Self-cultivation of photographers

On the accomplishment that a photographer should have.

Most colleagues can agree that photography is not a blind worship of high-end equipment, which can make up for the lack of pictures, but the equipment party and the parameter party are only the initial stage of photography. In the early stage of learning photography, these conditions have obvious effects on the improvement of your works. When you need to break the bottleneck and have a deeper study, you need to put aside these superficial "interests" and pay more attention to the internal quality of the work.

1, aesthetic priority

I believe every photographer has seen many photography tutorials. The first tutorial mostly teaches you how many photography works you need to see, whether it is magazines, web pages or all art exhibitions related to aesthetics. Photography, like other related design and fine arts, needs aesthetics, broad horizons and humanistic knowledge. These are the things that determine the details of works.

When you have a certain aesthetic foundation, that is, using the most common mobile phone to take pictures, the gas field you shoot is also a fan who kills other mediocre photographers. Photographers with aesthetic foundation are handy in composition, color, light consumption and content selection.

2, backward technology

A good photographer speaks with his works, in addition to the most basic technical things, but also depends on his ability to organize image expression. When the camera in your hand can express your intention quickly and clearly, you can enter deeper practice.

Just like peerless masters, there is no need to talk about martial arts after the technology reaches a certain level. We can spend more time trying to figure out how other excellent photographers use up their works and express them. This requires solid accumulation and creation, and forms its own style. At this time, technology has become the guarantee for the realization of ideas.

3. All-rounder or geek

There are many generalists and geeks in photography. Their personalities are very different, some of them are comprehensive and smart. There are also some things that go their own way and insist on being different from ordinary people. But no matter what form of personality, these people usually have a sensitive heart, carefully observe life, and can express their feelings and ideas about life with amazing images through their own abilities, and the methods are not eclectic.

4. Love and persist

In all truly classic, excellent or infectious works, without exception, photographers are extremely dedicated and passionate. Interest is the best teacher. A large number of young people flock to the photography industry every day. There are also a large number of people who are frustrated in this industry and still insist on photography. They are people who insist on and love photography.

Summary: Photographers are craftsmen, but even with good cameras, lenses and lighting, they still have to speak with their works, and equipment is just a weapon to facilitate their work; The value of a photographer comes from his ability to use his own experience and technology to realize his own ideas, even his own ideals. To be a professional photographer in NB, besides all skills, aesthetics and quality are the most important.
