What's your major in college? Can you be a photographer in the future?

General photography is a major for art students who need art exams. First of all, there is no doubt that photography is expensive. Even if you are not a student of the School of Photography, the cost of camera and computer should be at least 15000 yuan. So if family conditions don't allow it, I hope you will consider it carefully.

The majors closest to photography for non-art majors should be journalism, radio and television and advertising. However, the photography skills of journalism professors are actually limited and the development direction is very narrow. Generally speaking, teaching exposure and composition are similar, so this major is only partially helpful, but most of it still depends on self-study. In fact, the entry threshold of photography is very low now, and photography is divided into early stage and late stage. Good photos are definitely not completed only in the early stage, but also in the later stage. Usually, you can actively choose the public elective course on photography arranged by the school. If you don't have the conditions, you can teach yourself Photoshop and premier online, then buy a good camera and do more research yourself. You can also make more friends in photography and learn more professional knowledge from them at ordinary times. Usually know how to take different types of photos, be familiar with all the functions of SLR, and accumulate enough experience, so you can enter this industry in the future. You can take photos with tourists or do studio photography, but you still need a professional diploma to work in relevant units.

Generally speaking, if you want to engage in photography, you can't do it without a little level. You must have aesthetics and know all kinds of equipment. Not only must you be able to take pictures, but you must also take good photos. The connections in this circle are also very important. As for majors, it's not enough for universities to study that. It would be great if you can become a photography major, so that you have contacts from the beginning, and your classmates and teachers are potential resources, which is the advantage of photography major. If you can't become a student of this major, it doesn't matter what major you study, but you can study news, design, digital media and so on, which is related to photography or later stage, so that at least you can have an idea later.
