What do a good documentary photographer need?

A real photographer must have a pair of eyes that can discover beauty, love life and pay attention to the details in life. Only a happy photographer can record the beautiful moments in life. Secondly, an important condition for becoming a photographer is to have a solid photographic foundation, which is also the premise for photographers to do anything. Master how to use light in photography, how to control composition, how to mobilize models, how to comprehensively control aperture and shutter, depth of field and exposure, and get the photos you want. In fact, learning photography is not easy. You can go to photography interest groups or related forums to exchange and study, which is much faster than studying at school. Only by mastering the basics and practicing constantly can we improve.

Finally, if you want to be a photographer, you need an important link, that is, the spirit of not being afraid of hardship. Once you become a professional, you will feel bored and lose your original freshness. Photographers are not as glamorous as many people see when they really work. To be an excellent photographer, you have to make some efforts and persistent determination to truly become an excellent photographer.
