Want to be a photographer

Full-time photographers are immature in China. Like painters and writers, it is quite difficult to make a living by photography. Therefore, in view of your situation, I have the following suggestions:

1. It is a good thing to like photography, but you can cultivate photography as a hobby, and you can stick to this hobby no matter what you do in the future. Many people are like this, working and studying while doing what they like;

2. Photography is an art industry, and cultural accomplishment is definitely very important. Learning liberal arts and increasing one's own cultural accomplishment are very helpful to photography. Only with high cultural accomplishment can photography go further;

3. Now you can continue to like photography while studying. After the college entrance examination, you can enroll in journalism and other majors. There are photography courses in such majors. If possible, being a photojournalist can best meet your current wishes.

4. When you buy a SLR, don't indulge in photography. Learning in high school is very tense, and academic performance is the most important. If your academic performance is not good, a career like a reporter will be impossible.

5. You can also determine your attitude towards photography according to your academic performance. I mean, studying for the college entrance examination is the first. You can learn photography at any time, that is, you don't work as a full-time photographer, and it doesn't affect your love for photography. For example, many work units have part-time photography tasks (cultural propaganda work of the unit). For example, I play photography after work, and we shoot together, communicate together in the photography forum, and win the prize in the film competition. ......
