How to learn photography well

Photography refers to the process of recording images with some special equipment. Generally, we take photos with mechanical cameras or digital cameras. Sometimes photography is also called photography, that is, the process of exposing the photosensitive medium by using the light reflected by the object. Someone once said an incisive language: the photographer's ability is to transform the fleeting ordinary things in daily life into immortal visual images.

Steps/methods 1. Learn basic theoretical knowledge: this is the beginning of your photography career. This process is very boring, but you must learn, even without a camera, because this stage is the study of basic theories and concepts. After completing this process, you can deal with most of the "first time" shooting subjects in the future.

Second, master your own camera: for a newly bought camera, you must read the instructions thoroughly and master the various operations of the machine. Usually, the instructions will vigorously introduce the advantages of the product, but will not talk about its disadvantages. You must experiment yourself and find out its shortcomings, so as to avoid these shortcomings as much as possible in the future shooting process.

Third, the practical stage: At this time, shooting can be regarded as an experimental course of photography. It is best to list the experimental outline before shooting, then shoot according to the outline, record the shooting process, and summarize the shooting effect after you come back. It is often said that photography creation needs to break through the traditional framework and dare to innovate.
