How low is the threshold for photography?

I think the threshold for taking pictures has become lower, but the threshold for taking pictures has hardly changed.

Because the threshold of photography is ≈ equipment price, and the threshold of photography is ≠ equipment price, and the threshold of photography is ≈ equipment+aesthetics+experience+thought. ..

But I think lowering the threshold for taking pictures is definitely a good thing. My views are as follows:

For example, there are 100 people who are potentially interested in photography, among whom 50 people are just talking, 40 people have poor aesthetics/love to pretend/don't work hard, and the remaining 10 people can become photographers, but only two are poor and the other eight are quite poor.

Then you see, if only 10% people could afford a camera decades ago, then only two people would become photographers, which has a great influence; Now, 100% people can afford it, and 10% people have the opportunity to compete fairly; And the low price can let them get in touch with photography when they are young, which is really a good thing.

You asked me about those 40 people? I said that no matter whether such people can't afford a camera, they can't become popular in every era.

Many people I know ask this question, mostly because many people who are not good at using cameras also use cameras to force girls after they think cameras are cheap. . . . . . But in fact, it doesn't affect those NB people to make good works at all.

Finally, I feel that I am surrounded by excellent photographers! Not to mention portraits, there are too many excellent ones in China, many in the world and many with distinctive personal characteristics;

I dare not say many masters in the humanities documentary, but I like the water meter reader in Hefei very much. His personal experience is very inspiring. If it had been 20 years ago, he might not have had a chance to open his own photography door because his camera was too expensive.
