Portrait photography has entered the commercial field.

First of all, I am not a senior or a practitioner in the photography industry. I just had this dream like you many years ago, but I have been working for many years, and it is not easy to go back, so I have to give up.

I personally give you some advice. Personally, I still support you to pursue your dreams. But there is a big gap between dream and reality. There are many classifications of photography circles, most of which are not too famous. China knows too little about this. If you want to become a professional, you must first consider what kind of photography you like. Portrait, ecology, or something else. Secondly, determine the direction according to your own preferences. If it is a portrait, personal suggestions can start from the photo studio. There is no need to care whether you like it or not. After all, you can't be professional at once, and you need to learn a lot. On your development path, experience and work background are an indispensable part of you. To put it bluntly, professional photographers may not be able to find a suitable job, let alone you who are just getting started.

I have known it before, and I have also done follow-up photography and portrait photography. I usually like to shoot birds and sell a photo on several photography websites. Finally, I found that people in the photography circle are all kinds of people. If you don't have certain communication skills and interpersonal skills, I advise you to have some fun. Let me give you the simplest example. In my eyes, shooting birds is a very interesting thing. If lovers meet together, everyone shares the shooting method and location. But few people disclose this information to you. The only reason is that people who are separated from others are too independent. Portrait photographers are basically divided into three levels. As long as portraits are involved, whether it is wedding photos or advertisements, they are basically the same. The bottom is basically the automatic transmission of raw format, or AV. No technical features, just muddling along, no major at all. Then there are middle-level photographers, who have a certain understanding of cameras and shooting skills, but their professionalism is not as good as that of most enthusiasts or enthusiasts. At the top, you can often see the great gods in QQ group, the executives of a company or the professional photographers of a company. They will ask models to shoot films in their spare time, and they are very professional in technology and lighting, but you will find it very difficult to communicate with such people, especially to discuss technology.
