How to become an excellent photographer if you want to be a photography assistant in a studio?

Tell me my personal thoughts.

1. Learn computer-be a photography assistant-There is nothing wrong with becoming a photographer, but knowing computer has nothing to do with photography. Photographers in the film age don't need to know computers at all. If you study Photoshop, today is very useful.

I'm not sure what you mean by "good or bad" photographer, skill or character? If it is technology, I think it is difficult for you to tell the technical level of a photographer at present; If it is a character, then take its essence and at least become a photographer. No matter how bad your character is, you have knowledge of photography.

Working in a photo studio will help you learn a lot of real photography knowledge. For example, lighting the scenery is a very complicated procedure, and professional photo studios have many top-level equipment. Some cameras or lenses may be out of reach for a lifetime. A female photographer who can use a Mamiya camera will be cool.

4, but don't be superstitious about the level of the studio. Carefully arranged scenes will not be used outside this door. Commercial photography is the art of making money, and making money is for artistic photography. In the world, every moment can be a classic in the camera, as long as you have the heart.

There is a senior member of hummingbird upstairs. His macro is very good, and his knowledge of insects is very professional (it seems that this guy is engaged in biology, and there are some macro tauren who are not arranged in the photo studio, hehe). If you are interested in this, he can be regarded as a good teacher.

On the other hand, since I work in a photo studio, I must pay attention to every shooting process. Whether your photographer is good or bad, think about why he did it. For example, he put the light box at a 45-degree angle. Have you ever thought that a 60-degree angle would be better?

7. Unless he has wild ideas about you (in this case, I support the saying "not for the whole house" upstairs), I suggest thinking more about this person and other photographers. You know, the guy in The Bridges of Madison County is a freak, too, and all the people who do this business are textbooks for your first entry into society.

8. I have time to study Photoshop seriously. Although post-production is a shame in the eyes of many professional photographers, the trend of digitalization has created a large number of image software. In the future, female photographers will eventually use 1Ds or D3 as weapons. Maybe Hasselblad will add a digital back (sky-high price) in the future.

9. Look at the life around you. There is a saying in the textbook of the New York Institute of Photography that the photographic materials are within one mile of Fiona Fang. Maybe the photographer who turns you off is one of them? When you see this small society, you can see the bigger society, observe your surroundings, and be ready to make moves at any time.

10. Real photography comes from reality. I admire those documentary photographers. They don't need perfect details, including news photographers They record the reality of our world, smiling faces or tears, calm or intense, as well as natural photography, such as classic photos of National Geographic. So, leave your studio one day.

I also hope that you will become an excellent female photographer and send a few words:

-Wear the best camera and lens in an atmosphere within your ability.

No matter what type of equipment you use, master all its functions.

-Peace, generosity and modesty are the foundation of a good work.

-Courage, sensitivity and alertness are the skills of a good work.
