Why do some photographers take a blank photo before taking a photo?

1, in the past, the film era was used to take empty pictures because the film head was usually pulled out a little during development, and the first picture was likely to be damaged, so at that time, it was usually taken empty before formal shooting to ensure the success of formal shooting.

2. In the digital age, taking an empty SLR photo can see the effect in advance, especially in special formal occasions such as taking a group photo, and look at the exposure, composition and expression. And adjust the lens according to the actual situation of the film.

In short, taking pictures before the official shooting is the embodiment of the photographer's serious and responsible attitude.
