Nowadays, many friends who like photography have bought SLRs and mirrorless cameras, not for anything else but because of their love for photography and their pursuit of image quality.
If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Buying a SLR and a mirrorless camera can indeed greatly improve the quality of the pictures you take - whether it is still photos or video quality. Because the films and lenses of SLR and mirrorless cameras are incomparable to mobile phone cameras, and the interchangeable lenses of SLR and mirrorless cameras are also incomparable to mobile phone cameras. In addition, in terms of focusing performance, high-sensitivity performance, background blur, image quality purity and color saturation, continuous shooting speed, etc., mobile phones cannot be compared with SLRs and mirrorless cameras.
However, some friends have become confused after buying SLR and mirrorless cameras: "Why do the photos and videos I take with a SLR or mirrorless camera feel the same as those taken with a mobile phone?" In fact, this is not because of the SLR and mirrorless cameras. Mirrorless cameras are similar to mobile phones, but because your shooting skills and level are too "watery", you are not really familiar with and understand the machine in your hand and some basic shooting skills.
Because many friends often see some amazing photos from some professional photography websites. When I look at the camera model and lens, they are the same as my own. But from the shooting effect, I don’t know which photographer I took the photos with. There is really a world of difference in the shots. This is the difference caused by the shooting level.
You must quickly improve your shooting skills - whether you are taking photos or videos, you must keep learning, shooting and practicing, and summarizing. The more effective way to learn is to read more books on photography, and first improve yourself from the understanding, concept and theoretical level.
However, some friends said: When they were in school, they were unwilling to read. Now that they have graduated and are working, it is very difficult for them to read. In fact, learning does not necessarily require reading books. You can learn by watching videos, which are more vivid and intuitive. Below I will introduce to you some good video learning tutorials.
The first one is "200+ photography lessons, taking you from beginner to professional"!

The second video tutorial is a video tutorial dedicated to shooting portraits. As we all know, portrait photography is the most important field in photography, because talent is the soul of all things.
Most of the common types of wedding photography, photo photography, model posing, daily family photography, life records, friend gatherings, various sports games, concerts, etc. are all about people, so if you learn portrait photography, you will master it. The most important thing in photography.

If you like reading, I can also recommend some more practical photography books to you. For example, "The Beauty of Image Vision China 500px Classic Photography Tutorial Practical Chapter" is a very good professional book on photography. This is A film launched by Visual China condenses the essence of many first-class professional photographers' many years of shooting experience, because Visual China itself is the world's largest picture website, with 17 million registered members from nearly 200 countries around the world.

Of course, learning is important, but what is more important is to continue to practice, practice more, take more photos, combine theory with practice, practice and summarize continuously, so that you can continue to improve. Of course, if you have the opportunity, you should also communicate more with peers, because peers will use different perspectives and experiences to give you some suggestions for your work that are beyond your experience. Remember one sentence: There must be a teacher in all three walks of life.
