Guangzhou photographer jason said: Can expensive cameras really take good photos? Seek an answer

Take photos in Shenzhen from the end of 1992. Now, as a photographer in Guangzhou, I should take tens of thousands of photos and occasionally have excellent works. Whenever there are good photographs, someone will tell me: the photos you took are really beautiful! What camera and lens did you take it with? I told him (her) about the equipment I used, and then I got a unified answer: No wonder this photo was taken so well, so you have such good equipment. Every time I hear these answers, I am speechless! Still heartless! Their implication is that if he (she) had such good equipment, he (she) might have shot so well (I never deny it) or even better than me in the same situation at that time! It seems that in many people's minds, an expensive camera is bound to take good photos, which has become the consensus of the public. However, I will never agree!

In Guangzhou, as a professional photographer, I make a living from it. I deeply know that you can't take good photos without good photographic equipment, but you can't take good photos without the skills, experience and life experience of photographers. We often go to different occasions to take pictures of customers, and many people will come around to see what photographic equipment we use and ask what brand it is. What's the price, and so on? It's really respect for clothes in front of people! No one has ever asked photographers how long they have been in this business and what company they have worked for. In their eyes, these are not important! The important thing is that all the expensive equipment has arrived, and there will naturally be good photos. In fact, as photographers, we all know that in the face of these audiences, we must not only take good photos, but also have expensive equipment (worthy of the audience and blocking their mouths). If you meet a photographer at the scene and find that you don't use advanced professional equipment, you may have great doubts about your professional ability. If you say something unpleasant in front of customers, it will affect your business. So in any case, professional photographers have to buy expensive equipment! By the way, we need to bring more so-called assistants when we go out to take pictures (whether we need them or not), which is enough for ostentation and extravagance and makes customers feel that the money is worth it!

It's really a necessity for us! Have they ever thought about what a good photo is made of? As we all know, composition factors include composition, light and shadow, color and what the photographer wants to express. For example, people's photography depends on expression, action, environment, background and atmosphere, and the atmosphere is often created by light, shadow and color, which needs photographers to capture and conceive. For example, for commercial food photography, good lighting can show the texture of food, trigger attractive colors and stimulate the appetite of the audience. If the photographer can create a romantic and warm atmosphere in the photo, it will attract consumers to spend in the restaurant.

To take good photos, cameras and lenses are often not decisive factors! The most important thing is the head behind the camera! The most important thing is the photographer's idea and the photography skills he uses! Good photos can be the photographer's silent language. A good photographer will observe life and learn other arts after mastering the basic skills of photography. There is no doubt that art actually comes from our lives.

It's easy to get good photographic equipment, but it's not easy to take good photos!
