How does novice Xiao Bai learn photography?

Photography is a training process, and a good attitude and good learning methods can make you get twice the result with half the effort. So how do you learn and grow as a beginner? I recommend you from several aspects.

1. Buy a photo book.

After all, to fully learn theoretical knowledge before practice, then you must buy some books to understand the history of photography, and then the operation of the camera and the composition color. I recommend some books to you here. On photography and photographic composition, these two books are basically dry goods, especially suitable for beginners. There is no fancy technique in the book, but it calmly tells readers what photography is, the composition method of photography, the principle of photography and so on.

2. Have your own equipment.

Of course, what kind of equipment to choose depends on the individual's economic ability and scope of commitment. If a person really wants to know more about photography, then I suggest starting with SLR, and both entry-level and micro-single can be used as a training machine for beginners. Of course, you can also choose mid-range and high-end models with a high starting point and start from a high starting point. Of course, the author is not an equipment theorist. If you don't have the economy to buy a SLR, you can choose mobile photography as a starting point. I recommend several brands of mobile phones, such as Huawei, Apple and so on. Learn how to shoot scenes and people, understand the shutter aperture in the mobile phone, and some existing functions such as panorama, delay and light drawing.

3. Understand the basic concepts of camera performance and photography.

The camera manual is the best way for you to know about the camera. It is very reliable because it has official documents and user's guide. Many people ignore the importance of the instructions, so that they haven't read the instructions completely for a long time after buying a camera. Because the content of the camera manual is very refined, it is inevitable that it is boring and difficult to understand, which is exactly what we need to study seriously. The first thing a photographer does after buying a new camera is to read through the instructions. Be familiar with the function of each button of your camera. Generally, SLR cameras have more than 20 buttons, so you should be familiar with the purpose of each button. Only when you are familiar with the key operation of your camera can you adjust your camera to shoot in a short time.

4. Communicate and study with experts frequently, and actively study online.

Appreciate more award-winning photographs, enhance your aesthetic vision with photographers' works, and communicate with photographers and the same photographers. Learning photography techniques and courses online can not only help you learn all kinds of knowledge, but also help you learn about photography and mobile phone photography on today's knowledgeable Internet. It is recommended here that "Li Tao said later" has not only the post-tutorial of Photoshop, but also the post-tutorial of mobile phone retouching. I hope it helps you.

5. Full practice.

Finally, practice fully, pick up the SLR to create your own photography, and then participate in the photography competition through the network or QQ group. You can also find the same photographer to exchange progress and study together. Even if you don't have an expensive SLR, you can pick up your mobile phone and take it with you to learn photography, and even participate in competitions and win prizes.

Finally, I wish you long-term success in photography, make photography a life and bring you honor. If you like my article, please like and pay attention to it. Thank you ~ ~! ! !
