The ability that a photographer should have.

Think you can take pictures of the master by mastering the parameters of the master? Every scene is independent and every photo is unique. If you really want to learn, you should learn the thoughts and ideas of the master, rather than clinging to those parameters. As a photographer, what abilities should a good photographer have?

A basic problem is that photography technology is nothing more than various combinations of aperture, focal length, shutter and exposure. The first thing we need to know is that these four elements determine what kind of results, and then what kind of effects can different combinations show. This is the basic skill of technique, how to master it?

1, theory Read a book or Baidu. Of course, Baidu has a higher cost performance. Baidu, you will know. ? In theory, instead of asking people one by one and absorbing them subjectively, it is better to bury your head in data and establish your own theoretical system. It takes time, maybe half a year, maybe a year, depending on your talent, but there is no way to get it.

2. practice. I want to emphasize this point. Don't you practice, think and accumulate experience by yourself, just like those people who point out the maze all day on Wuji? Pseudo experts? Similarly, it is useless to talk on paper. In addition, practice costs money, and your financial ability can only afford a dog's head, so don't fantasize about the effect of top-level lens. If you haven't used fixed focus, don't study whether fixed focus is suitable for you. It's all in vain to imagine or ask others if it's useful, okay? I won't know until I use it.

Second, the use of the equipment is actually very simple. You can use whatever equipment the host uses. Aren't you clamoring all day to take the same photos as the masters? The equipment is the same, which means you are close to the master again. As for the operation and application of equipment, you must achieve your goal when operating any equipment. You should ask others about this. You won't shoot it yourself, will you?

Aesthetics. The problem is that this is the basis of photography. The aesthetic definition here is not only the external beauty in the popular sense (including of course), but also the understanding of things, the integration of one's own views, and the instantaneous atmosphere and state shown by the lens, which can arouse the audience's * * * voice. How to cultivate this aspect? If you are a photographer close to fashion (including wedding photographers), you should pay more attention to fashionable things, what is popular now and what is popular now, and your aesthetic ability will naturally improve. Again, how deep you understand the subject, how deep the photo can be taken. Ability to think and practice independently. Unless you are a formal student or an apprentice who pays for classes, no one is obliged to teach you all the skills or answer all your questions. To improve, the first thing to do is to ask myself, what kind of effect do I want and how should I achieve this effect? Why did the master shoot like this? How do I reach the level of a master? After asking a series of questions, review the above three points. If that point is missing, solve it one by one, and you will succeed. Again, don't rely on others to help you answer or solve it;
