How to learn photography on a zero basis

Learning photography skills requires both theory and practice, summing up experience from practice and forming one's own style. Here, I summed up the "three-legged" learning skills. "Three legs" means mastering the use of photographic equipment, systematically learning theoretical knowledge, and sorting out your own material library. "Top" means practicing more and communicating more. Learning photography is a happy thing to record, and it is not difficult.

1. Master the use of photographic equipment.

Whether it's a mobile phone or a camera, you should be familiar with the function of each function, so as to know yourself and know yourself before you can shoot the best works. The operation of the camera is complicated, such as focal length, depth of field, aperture, white balance and exposure. Different settings will produce different effects, so try to choose the best photos from them. In recent years, the camera function of mobile phones has become more and more powerful, and some mobile phones focus on camera phones, with good results. Shooting with mobile phone has become a hot topic at present. No matter what you shoot, it is most basic to be familiar with the tools in your hand.

2. Systematically learn the theoretical knowledge of photography.

Need to master the theoretical knowledge of photography, such as light, light ratio, tone, shadow tone, exposure compensation, depth of field, composition, lighting, etc. There are various photography courses on the Internet now, but there is no systematic explanation.

3. Organize your own material library

Pay attention to the works of excellent photographers, analyze the advantages of their works, then organize the excellent works into their own material library, improve their aesthetic and photographic reference, and then improve their shooting level in a targeted manner, first imitate and then surpass, with special attention, daily photography is understandable, and commercial photography must be original.

4. Practice more and communicate more.

If you have a solid foundation, you can keep practicing, make your own works every day, communicate with like-minded friends, find out your own shortcomings, and improve your shooting skills and level in a targeted manner. The next great photographer is you!

There are many ways to learn. As long as you want to learn, you have to do it, and there will be results.
