2. Different tasks. The cameraman's job is to control the camera to shoot the shots needed for the plot, and to express story board's content by using TV picture art and images. The photographer's job is to use cameras, photographic films, light sources and modeling techniques to shoot portraits, landscapes, products and production or life image information indoors and outdoors.

Photographers need to master the shooting scene, the composition of the picture, the use of the lens, the setting of the camera, the chromaticity and contrast of the picture, and the speed at which the lens moves. Photographers need to master the skills of luminosity, light level, light quality, light type, light ratio and light color.
