How to be an excellent photographer?

It is indeed much easier to acquire photographic knowledge now than before. In addition to photography websites, celebrity blogs and photography forums, some simple columns can also learn some photography knowledge. However, this method is scattered and the speed of technical improvement is slow. If the effect is obvious, it is recommended to spend 2-3 hours a week admiring the photographer's works and cultivating your own "photographic eyes". Of course, it may be better to take some photography courses, which can help you greatly improve your photography accomplishments through your tutor's life experience and experience. You can also communicate with like-minded students in class and make some shooting plans and learning goals, which is of course much better than sitting in front of a computer and teaching yourself photography.

Step 2: Be a photography assistant.

There is no shortcut to success. For example, when a portrait or wedding photographer, it is best to be the assistant of some famous photographers directly, and don't mind starting from the bottom. Through daily communication and cooperation with the chief photographer, you will understand the process of a commercial shooting work, as well as the skills of contacting customers and solving problems. With the growth of experience, you will have the opportunity to become a real partner of the main photographer and help the main photographer to undertake some work. Over time, you can try to stand on your own feet or consider becoming a business partner of the original photographer.

The third measure: often carry out different forms of training.

As the saying goes, "One minute on stage, ten years off stage", it is not a fluke that many photographers can become famous in one fell swoop. If you want to achieve something on the road of photography, you need long-term practical accumulation and tempering. If you spend an extra hour practicing every day, you will gain more than others after one year.

Step 4: Learn from your mistakes.

It is human nature to make mistakes, so we should learn from them, review the reasons for the failure, and find out the improvement methods to avoid making the same mistakes again. Sometimes, you may gain more valuable experience and learn some special skills by making mistakes. The most important thing is not to be confused when encountering mistakes. As long as you have confidence, you will succeed one day.

Step 5: There is no shortcut to fame.

No one in this world is born to take good photos at will. Every successful photographer has experienced hard work day after day and year after year. Only in this way can he truly achieve fame and fortune.
