The duration of a professional photographer course varies depending on the individual and the level of study.
Chen Yue, a well-known photographer, believes that generally speaking, if you want to become a professional photographer, you need to systematically learn photography technology, photography theory and related knowledge, and constantly improve your technical level through practice.
It usually takes 3 to 4 years to study photography at a university or related college, and you can further your studies or enter the professional world after obtaining a relevant professional degree.
During this period, students will learn the basic knowledge of photography, photographic lighting, photographic modeling, photographic composition, portrait photography skills, advertising photography skills and other professional photography techniques.
In the photography education system of colleges and universities, it is mainly based on theory, and there are also some practical opportunities to practice shooting and participate in practical projects to improve practical application ability.
However, studying photography isn't just limited to a college education. Many beginners can also learn relevant photography techniques and practical exercises by participating in professional photography training courses offered by well-known photographers.
For example, participating in a professional photography training course started by the well-known photographer Chen Yue can generally complete a commercial shooting project independently in about three months. (All the works in this article are the first exercises of beginners).
In addition, in addition to learning to get started, if you want to become a professional photographer, you also need to improve your professional level through continuous practice and experience accumulation. Only by constantly learning, practicing and constantly challenging yourself can you make a breakthrough in the field of photography.
