The reason that prompted me to write this open letter is that as a novice photographer, I have received helpful and useless suggestions as I grew up. In this age when anyone can call themselves a photographer, I hope to help novice photographers distinguish between good and bad suggestions, so that novice photographers can avoid detours and smoothly become a confident and professional photography trainee.
Dear all novice photographer,
Trust Your Own Eyes
I believe that everyone’s motivation to become a photographer is likely to be that: at a certain moment in your life, you feel the beauty and preciousness of that moment, so you want to record and capture this moment well. Everyone’s life trajectory is so different and wonderful, so trust your own eyes and take the picture of the moment. There is no fixed rule or authority in this world to tell you how to shoot or pose at a certain moment.
So feel free to shoot boldly and don’t be swayed by the ideas of others.
Quickly Get Started With a Specific Camera
In this age when everyone has a desire for sharing their opinions, many self-proclaimed photography experts will give advice on how to choose your first camera in life. Their intention is good, but once the range of options is too wide, novice photographers will become dazzled, and they will never start without knowing which camera to start with. This is wrong.
Any photographic equipment serves the photographer. How to choose them should not be the first stumbling block on the road of photography. Every camera has its applicable scene. Novice photographers can start with the nearest equipment at hand and find their own sense of balance through continuous photography practice.
No matter whether it is satisfied or dissatisfied with the equipment on the opponent, after using it for a period of time, novice photographers can get their own feelings. Then, decide to replace the device or continue to use it.
Therefore, don’t read too much detailed introductions of camera selection by a large number of photography experts, just quickly start your shooting practice!
Keep Your Original Intention And Don’t Become a ‘Device’ Person
Many novice photographers develop to a certain level and become obsessed with studying the camera rather than photography itself. They spend a lot of money on photography equipment and show off everywhere. They have forgotten that the essence of photography is to record the beautiful moments in their lives, not to show off their wealth.
Therefore, there are many kinds of cameras in this world, there are countless, please choose a few cameras that are suitable for you, and then talk about the photos instead of devices.
I hope you guys can quickly find the beauty of taking photos!
Yours sincerely,
Amphyiii
