How big is the gap between ordinary people and top photographers shooting the same scene?

In the same scene, most ordinary people first see the scene and then shoot what they see. Photographers, especially those with high professional quality, often form the final film effect in their minds according to the scene, and then decide the composition, exposure and techniques according to the film effect they want. I think the final gap will be reflected in the following main aspects.

I

1. Composition

I think this gap is the most direct embodiment, or framing, because composition directly determines the performance of the subject. I have seen too many films taken by ordinary people and photographers in the same scene. First of all, many photos taken by ordinary people are not good at composition, or a few ordinary people know the rules of composition, but they just follow the rules and lack guidance for the performance of the subject.

2. Light

Photographers know what kind of light is good for photos, what kind of light is suitable for what subject, or have a precise grasp of light. And most ordinary people don't have this awareness.

3. Color

Photography is derived from fine arts, and the mastery of color will also be reflected in the works. Photographers will eliminate disturbing colors and strengthen colors that are helpful to visual experience through pre-framing and post-modification.

4, tone

In order to highlight the main body or enhance the visual impression, photographers often pay great attention to the performance of tone. The level of light and shade, the contrast between reality and reality, and the brightness of hue will make the viewer feel the flow and change of light.

second, the accumulation behind

1. Aesthetics

This is the professionalism reflected behind the work. Although a work can't fully reflect an author's aesthetics, the illusory concept of aesthetics can be presented intuitively in the work.

2. Thought

This is also a comprehensive embodiment. Photographic works are like paintings, not just the light and shadow colors expressed in the picture itself. The idea it expresses is also what a photographic work can bring to the viewer.
