Books on the art of photography and painting, theory of composition, observation, time to visit museums and exhibitions, camera
Instructions
Step 1
Study art history. The general cultural level is necessary for any person who plans to engage in photography. Studying the theory of color, composition, the laws of optics will allow a beginner photographer to understand how exactly to convey what he sees with the means of his camera. Flip through albums of painting, visit exhibitions of famous photo artists. Sooner or later, quantity will turn into quality. Start building your own photography library.
Step 2
Keep in touch with your hobby colleagues. Sign up for courses, participate in contests, collective photo sessions. Talking to other photographers will enrich your worldview, and you can also clarify technical issues. Watch how other masters work, consider their work, the process of selecting photos and processing them.
Step 3
Experiment boldly! Don't stop at standard plots and perspectives: look for new solutions, don't be intimidated by your ideas. Ideally, you need to understand for yourself that the impossible does not happen, because photography not only conveys reality, but also transforms it. With your camera and angle of vision, even an ordinary grille can seem like a mysterious wrought-iron obstacle on the way to an enchanted castle. Artistic photography includes originality, novelty of look and immediacy of image transfer. Let your fantasy go. Look for unusual places, new faces, strange objects. Create your own stamps, your own artistic handwriting.
Step 4
Seize the moment. The greatest photographs captured some unique moment: a bright look, a fall, a blow, a hug … Many masters admitted that they accidentally took a picture, which later glorified them. Some photographers spend hours waiting for the necessary light, shadows, movement, and someone just takes pictures all the time and chooses the most successful one out of hundreds of frames. Either way, learn to freeze the moment with your camera. Look for new colors, angles, shapes. Good luck will definitely smile at you!
