Photographer's qualification certificate can be obtained through junior college study or correspondence study, and then through the unified examination of the Ministry of Labor. But getting a qualification certificate doesn't mean mastering photography skills. Usually one year's research is enough, but at a certain level, more time is needed to practice. Nowadays, society doesn't care much about qualifications, but a well-known photographer can easily find customers. If you are interested in taking photography as a career, you can start from auxiliary positions such as photography assistant and gradually learn from famous artists and accumulate experience. Professional photographers are mainly engaged in market-oriented commercial photography, mainly based on whether the market recognizes it, which needs attention.
