Are you lonely as a photographer?

I want to be an independent photographer and I like to be alone. The so-called loneliness may be preferring a quiet environment, such as nature, a quiet road, a park with few people, art exhibitions and museums that few people go to, and being with the things you like, not lonely. ‍‍

As a photographer, loneliness is a norm, in addition to independent thinking, in addition to special behavior, when I walk between the mountains and rivers, and see the beautiful scenery, it is also lonely. Because at that moment, I wanted such a beautiful scenery to be shared with the people I liked. So I could only press the shutter frantically. ‍‍

How good is loneliness, is it not lonely to have someone noisy and frolicking next to you when taking pictures, sunny weather, alone with a camera to take pictures of the beauty created by nature, a lot, that state of mind has never had, when I stand on a rock on the top of the mountain, waiting for the sunset to come, that is the joy I have never had, the red sun slowly falls, the slight red light in the scenery that I can see without much bright color is so beautifully distributed in it, Unfortunately, I was the only one who waited until the end, and I guess this is loneliness, why is it so beautiful and easy to get, hey, it also comforts me, because I can praise myself for being able to see the world well.

It's not usually lonely, but when I'm done with a day's work on post, it's understandable that I always feel less excited about shooting during the day. ‍‍

Especially when you take pictures alone, you are lonely, and the camera is the photographer's toy. Good works can also reap honors. Every time I assemble and clean the lens, every time I hold the camera, it's like holding a child, because it's so expensive.

It turns out that adults also have toys, and it turns out that this world looks like this. ‍‍

In my opinion, loneliness is not a bad thing, he can make me really focus on one thing, so that I don't distract myself, make this work more exquisite, more fully express your inner monologue, from another point of view, I am not alone, and my work accompanies me. ‍‍

Everyone has a job to do independently. Especially when I shoot and create, I will have my own ideas, and the content I want to shoot cannot be the same as others. Ideologically or walking, the metropolis is a state of solitude.

Moreover, everyone who works in any industry has a lonely road. ‍‍

Photography really made me see a lot, I didn't specialize in photography in college, but I accidentally came into contact with photography because of my boyfriend, and since then it has been out of control, before I was exposed to photography, I have never observed everything around me so much and delicately. The moment I picked up the camera, I really felt the passage of time, the change of light and shadow, and the change of years when I looked at the old **. The last time I squatted down to take a closer look at the small ones was when I was a kid watching the ants move.

It's so big, and I have long lost that childlike innocence, but when I shoot flowers, snow, and dragonflies and butterflies with macro, I find the lost beauty, and I am not lonely at all. ‍

When I was in college, I studied photography, and then when I graduated, I became a professional commercial photographer, and my usual job is to be exposed to some activities, which is the most lively time for me as a photographer, because there are really a lot of people, but when I remember that when I was resting before, when I went out to take pictures with my camera on my back, I suddenly felt lonely, even when I was alone with the camera, I was not lonely, and sometimes I was happier. Look at the shortcomings of your own photos, see the technical growth reflected in your photos, and feel the joy and sorrow of the people being photographed. ‍‍

When I don't have like-minded friends, no one knows what I'm thinking, no one understands. I walked around with my camera on my shoulder, and I could be considered an outlier. It must be lonely at this time.

But I can hold on because I deserve to exist, and my value is likely to be irreplaceable. ‍‍

Photography is a kind of enjoyment, enjoy him, will inevitably bring a certain negative effect, really, sometimes I feel inexplicable loneliness, to be precise, a sense of loneliness, which has nothing to do with money, looking at the SLR in my hand, fiddling with the numbers on the shoulder screen, at a loss, but I still love photography. ‍‍
