There are more and more photographers, what is photography for?

With the advancement of science and technology, photography is no longer a business for a few people, and the old man in the alley will also pick up his mobile phone to record his life. But my understanding is that taking pictures is not photography, everyone can pick up their mobile phone to take pictures, but this does not mean that everyone can take pictures. Photography is an art, a reflection on beauty, and a reconstruction of the world.

I think that we learn photography, not just to record life, not just to seek the appreciation of others, but in photography, to find the truth, goodness and beauty of the world, so as to enrich their own life perception, improve their own life level, I think more importantly, at the moment I shoot **, I think the most valuable thing I gain from photography is to sublimate myself in the process of finding beauty.

Personally, I think that photography is what photography is, and photography is a means to express human emotions by technical means. Nowadays, the threshold for photography is getting lower and lower, which leads to the more and more serious homogenization of photography. This is the same feeling as when we read books and watch TV series, there are more and more books on the market, and TV series are released faster and faster, but we feel worse and worse.

Because of the increasing number of photographers, there will be a large number of ** uploaded to the network every day, which allows us to distinguish the time cost of *** doubled, therefore, our immunity to photography works is also increasing. No matter how beautiful it is, it can't bring us moving, exciting, pity, and introspection ...... nowThe lack of these emotions actually lies in the lack of emotion in the photographic works, the lack of emotions in the photographer, and the only pursuit of people is to be fast and refined.

Photography, real photographers not only take pictures, but also experience different happiness from photography, and the sad experience of photography can only be understood by going deeper. Photography also increases knowledge, understands the beauty of nature, understands the living habits of photographing animals, and exercises one's patience. In fact, photography is sometimes not understood by the people around them and is considered crazy, but in fact, photographers are very caring.

The main thing about taking pictures or photography is still to record and share your life. Because I am not actually a very good communicator and good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, but I do sales, and photography, especially mobile phone photography, is something that can be done anytime and anywhere. No matter what, no matter when, you don't need the cooperation of others (except for portrait photography), and you don't need to consider other people's opinions to do it.

It is a rest, a most self-expression.

When I started to love photography, I felt the same way for a long time. But then I realized that photography does not only exist as an emotional solution, but also as a record of life's journey. We live in this life, our memory is limited, we always forget while walking, and we forget while happening, so we need to record, in this kind of record, there can be words, pictures, and more, in fact, it is **.

First of all, photography as a record is a more objective and true record of our lives and the world we see. Because only photography will freeze the reality of what you see exactly the same. So in that sense, photography is a recording tool, and we use it to record the time we have passed.

The threshold of photography is getting lower and lower, there are more and more photographers, the boundary between professional and amateur is becoming more and more blurred, and a large number of ** are being produced every day. What exactly is photography for? Combined with my years of photography practice and understanding of photography, the purpose and meaning of photography should be to record and express.

The text is delicate and concrete, the image is intuitive, **ethereal, and sometimes because of a certain taste, you will also recall a past. And photography is all about capturing these moments.

Photography is a record, using light and shadow to record the joys, sorrows, sorrows, changes of the world, a flower, a tree, a world...

Photography is all about narration, telling the story you see and record in the viewfinder in a simple or gorgeous lens language.

Photography is fitness, carrying spears and cannons to run east and west, south and north to fight.

Recording life and leaving memories, and at the same time, the process is very happy and has a sense of achievement.

In this era, photography is no longer just an art, but should be a part of people's lives, which can record life, leave good memories, increase the fun and beauty of life, and improve people's literacy and awareness of beautiful things.

I think that whether it is professional or amateur, this kind of record is just a kind of image recording from the original traditional text, and he is more straightforward, allowing people to return to the original picture and find the original memory.

Photography, like literature and dance, is just a form of expression of human thought.

The purpose of universal photography is actually to be happy, and the real photographer is to record and express while gaining happiness.

Popular photography is nothing, it has nothing to do with art, the reason why I bought a DSLR is a travel record, and now it has cost a lot of money to go out, and I am nostalgic for a few good picture quality**, after all, the investment in the relative travel SLR is just cabbage.

leisure time; Play! The vast majority of people who play photography are retirees.

There are not many people who really pursue the art of photography.

A real photographer is no longer entangled in catering to the standards of the world, you are a photography enthusiast, and every photo is a specimen of time.

Photography is to follow the footsteps of life is good and the circle of activities is bigger.

For me personally, the main reason is for the sake of **. Carrying a heavy camera bag, running around, jumping up and down, it is simply a weight-bearing version of hiking workout.

Ordinary photographers record what they think is a beautiful scene, and it has nothing to do with others, as long as the process is happy.

There are a lot of people who buy all kinds of SLR cameras around, but there are really few people who study seriously, and there are so many people who shoot blindly.

Find joy in photography.

Photography is to record history and make yourself happy.

Photography is a joyful way of life. Happy photography, happy photography.

I'm just a photo enthusiast, but it's not a contradiction that you need to understand basic photography techniques to take good photos.

Photography - good** It's not an exaggeration to describe it as a sudden excitement.

I have always felt that people should have a hobby, and it is best to be willing to devote themselves to it, and it can cultivate sentiments.

Luckily, I found a hobby that I could dedicate myself to: photography.

I have no talent for photography, I'm just obsessed with being a different version of myself under the lens.

For me, the lens is a freeze frame, a freeze in time.

Sometimes, I like to pretend to be what I yearn for, if this world lives another self and lives the life I yearn for.

Then at this moment, I am disguised under the camera, and the feeling is the same.

I think I shoot myself, joys, sorrows and sorrows are exaggerated in the camera, today is a little sad, I want to shoot a melancholy style **.

To escalate my sadness, I borrowed some props and I used my own worn-out curtains as a backdrop.

Because the curtains are a bit old, I think it would be appropriate for black and white or retro style.

I didn't have a proper tripod, so I had to find someone to help me with the handles.

After I set the parameters, I communicated with the person who helped me to shoot what style I would like to shoot, so that I could get a grasp of the eyes and composition.

In the process of taking pictures, I think that to shoot ** that can express the melancholy style, the eyes are the most difficult to master.

In the process of shooting, we are constantly capturing the eyes, and often the eyes at a certain moment are just right, but they are often fleeting.

In the end, I took more than a dozen photos, and only one or two eyes were in place.

Although it is still far from the feeling of blockbusters, it is a big improvement compared to the previous **.

It's not because the emotional capture of the characters is more delicate, but it makes people feel more connotative, and I think I'm just happy to put the flavor in it.

Some people are not portrait photographers but they are better looking than the studio masters, just because some people are professional photographers, but they are not engaged in this industry, and their hobbies are not that they have learned a lot of shooting techniques and retouching skills, so he shoots **good-looking. And some of the photographers in the photo studio are actually not professional, but they have been working in the photo studio for a long time, but they will play a single thing, those who are better than the photographers in the photo studio, he may have studied photography professionally, but his main business is not photography, he loves photography, so he will look better than others, and this photography requires skills, and the effect of the film is very related to composition and retouching, so you can't evaluate the photographer in the photo studio is not good or someone else shoots better, This is all different majors, and everyone's vision is different, so you can't judge the professionalism of others too much, just say that everyone has their own unique angle to shoot better**.

Most of the photographers in the photo studio are relatively good, because they shoot a lot, they are very experienced, they know how to take pictures, they know how to interact with models to shoot better, just to say that many people are not good at taking pictures, due to the model's own reasons, the effect of this film is not very good, but this is not all the responsibility of the photographer, most of the responsibility is actually the responsibility of the model itself, because their expressions or movements are too stiff, So that the photographer has no way to capture their better moments, this is no one right or wrong, just say that the photographer of our photo studio will be more professional, but because the model is not professional, so the effect of this ** is very general, these are understandable, not all of us are models, not all of us are born to pose for photos.

I have a friend who works in a photo studio, and he shoots ** is actually very good, as long as he meets a good model, the production rate is very high, and many people like his ** very much, trust his photography skills, and also introduce him to a lot of customers.

I will explain to commercial photographers, fashion photographers, landscape photographers, wedding photographers and other groups.

First, the domestic commercial photographer is still in good condition, and the income is also very high, and you can enter the field of commercial photography, which means that your skills are very good, and it should be no problem to buy a car and a house with income. can do the top-notch, such as shooting the products of big manufacturers, steam and stupid car advertisements, etc., and there are millions of annual incomes.

Second, domestic fashion photographers, this kind of photographers work and live more glamorous, often shoot star magazines, the top of the fashion photography pyramid, the survival situation is still very good, the income is also considerable, it is said that a fashion photographer a day shooting cost 100,000.

Third, the domestic landscape photographer, I have been in contact with a very good photographer in Beijing before, his works are often commissioned by the National Geographic magazine in the United States, he is also flying around the world, going to the most desirable places to shoot amazing scenery blockbusters, of course, it is very difficult to reach this level.

Fourth, domestic wedding photographers are just an ordinary photography group! Wedding photographers are also the most tiring and bitter. Of course, the technical requirements for photography are also minimal.

Those wedding photography practitioners who are talented and potential in photography will of course develop into other fields of photography, such as business, fashion, and so on, and there is no shortage of successful ones!

At present, domestic photography is divided into two concepts: photographers and photography enthusiasts. Photographers have the responsibility and obligation to make full use of the brain behind the camera to record the prosperity of the motherland and the development and changes of the people's living standards. Photography is essentially image reproduction, but the result is still different in the pursuit of content.

The key is that there is a big difference in the pursuit of the shooting concept and the completion of the task.

I made a decision for something I loved for the rest of my life. Ten years ago, the living expenses given by the family were only a few hundred yuan a month, and in the extensive men's dormitory, it was like toilet paper thrown in the toilet, and it disappeared after a few splashes.

Relying on this money, let alone playing SLR, it is a problem to support yourself.

When I was in college, as an engineering student, I insisted on three things for many years: writing, photography, and making short films.

In addition to writing like a proletarian, the other two put me under heavy financial pressure.

My first SLR, the fuselage + an 18-105mm sleeve, was almost 8,000 yuan at the time.

When I think about it now, I still feel uplifted and sad.

The excitement is that over the years, I have always remembered how the boy who had expectations because of his love relied on his own arms to future.

And the sad thing is that every one of these 8,000 yuan is hard-earned money.

At that time, my economic activities were mainly focused on two things:

One is to be a tutor, and the other is to assemble a desktop computer.

When I first started tutoring, it was 15 yuan per hour, and it was 30 yuan for a class. It wasn't until much later that my ** soared from 15 yuan an hour to 30 yuan an hour.

In the winter, sometimes it was almost 10 o'clock after tutoring, and in the severe cold of more than minus 20 degrees, I rode the 7-hand kun car from the Daowai thrift market, shivering back to school, my toes and face were frozen unconscious, and the tears in my eyes were not because of sadness, but because the wind was so hard.

Later, a parent contacted me to work as a tutor in a weekend cram school, and I had 200 yuan a day, which was my most extravagant income when I was a thin student.

The predecessor of Harbin Engineering University was Harbin Shipbuilding College, so there is a ship electronics world at the west gate of the school, the first floor is electronic components, the second floor is electronic accessories, and the third floor is notebooks, desktops, mobile phone cameras, these 3C products.

At that time, I was working as a small worker in one of the stores that sold desktop computers, assembling computers for customers who came to buy computers, and installing a computer for 5 yuan.

On weekends, I was the busiest, and I could earn seventy or eighty yuan a day, and sometimes I was so tired that I couldn't straighten my waist, so I ran to the Nikon store next to me, and in the bright spotlights, I took a look at the dream camera I was thinking about.

At the same time, I calculated how much money I had saved, how much money was missing, and I had to do it for a few months.

No one knew how many times such a teenager had gazed at it before that, dragging his tired body and a fiery heart.
