How did you all learn to photograph?

Everyone may learn photography in different ways, depending on the ultimate goal. For example, learning photography for hobbies is very different from learning photography for careers. Below, I will talk about these two directions for your reference.

Love to learn photography.

First, you should have a camera. Choose the right camera according to the subject you want to shoot and your budget. Primary SLR or micro-single is 4 ~ 5 thousand yuan, and the better one is about 1 10 thousand yuan. SLR brands recommend Canon and Nikon, and you can also consider Sony micro-single. The famous slippery god Xu Cen once shared the experience of "efficient learning", that is, buying the most expensive equipment or tools will stimulate your learning ability.

With equipment, you will learn quickly. First of all, you can read the instructions and get familiar with the basic functions of the camera. Then buy a book of photography tutorial and learn while watching it; You can also search online for articles on photography skills, many of which are free. If you feel that the effect of self-study is not good, you can sign up for online courses, and the effect will be much better if there are teachers to answer questions. Next, practice shooting more.

Engage in work and study photography.

After all, the goal is to make money or to ensure that the technology passes, so it needs systematic learning. If you have strong self-control, perseverance and good time management, you can also consider self-study. Choose relatively professional courses on the Internet for self-study, such as micro-majors in Netease Cloud Classroom, portrait courses in Hummingbird Micro Classroom, and photography courses in other institutions. The cost ranges from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. You can study online and practice offline. If you have any questions, ask the teacher.

If you have poor self-control, are prone to procrastination or feel that your understanding is low, you can choose to go to an offline photography training school. The school has a face-to-face teacher, and the learning effect is better. The disadvantage is that it costs more. Learning is only the first stage, and the second stage requires work experience, that is, choosing an assistant according to your goals. For example, if you want to do wedding photography, go to the photo studio as an assistant. If you want to do commercial photography, you should go to a commercial photography institution to learn from it. With skills and experience, you can do this job by accumulating some works.
