Can an assistant photographer be upgraded to a photographer?

A photography assistant is a reserve photographer. At first, I helped the photographer with some physical strength and chores. The process from photography assistant to photographer can only be done in the following aspects:

1. First of all, the camera should be completely familiar with the basic operation and principle. This familiarity is not rote learning, but understanding the imaging principle of the camera and being able to use it reasonably and flexibly to cope with various shooting conditions.

2. Photography theory knowledge, including exposure, color, basic composition skills, etc. These are the foundations.

3. If you are a portrait photographer, it is also important to adjust American capital and communicate with people, and you need to learn. You can learn from other excellent photographers.

4. Diligence. If you can do the first three things, but you can't do the fourth thing, then you still can't be a photographer, because photography must be done by diligent people. This is a trivial matter. Without a diligent working attitude, you can only be a spectator, which can be said to be the secret of photography. Believe it or not.
