"the camera is a teaching aid that teaches people how to see the world without a camera."

Photography is not as simple as blindly pressing the shutter. During the whole shooting process, you need to observe and think.

The reason why excellent photos can leave a deep impression, bring touch and inspiration, not only because of the beauty of the shooting scene, the rare shooting opportunities, but also because of the photographer's observation and perception.

When most people are photographing, they like to be "lazy". It is nature to pursue efficiency and save effort. Physical "laziness" can be easily detected, while mental "laziness" is easy to be ignored because "laziness" has to be noticed. this makes many of the photos we take become "taken for shooting".

Observation is a good way to help us change "laziness". When we encounter a good scene, we can try to observe more: is there a better angle? When will you have the best performance? Wouldn't it be better to shoot the night scene at night? What kind of elements will look better with? Would it be more interesting to wait for an interesting story to emerge? This is not only a physical observation, but also a mental observation.

Every day, when you go out to shoot, you don't have to rush to the next place. After all, photography is not a sign-in. It is very good to take a satisfactory picture in one place at a time.

In addition, we can try to observe from different perspectives, which not only means that we should walk around and adjust the angle of the camera, but that we should also learn to see, find and communicate with different identities.

Why do many people reject some street documentaries taken by online photographers in recent years? There are technical problems such as color blending and composition, but a very important point is the lack of observation and thinking, because some people have completely replaced themselves as "photographers" who are incompatible with the real environment when they pick up the camera. They even magnify their "humanistic care" by condescending and "examining the activities of others."

This is also a kind of "the shot is not good enough because it is not close enough". On the basis of complete lack of understanding, relying on subjective guesswork to capture "life is not easy" is complete nonsense, moving yourself.

We may see that some of the award-winning works are mediocre in technical performance, and we don't even know why they won the award, but behind the photo there may be years of personal investigation by photographers, in which there are photographers' real observation and thinking.

If you always capture the picture as a photographer and recorder, then the picture is often not so complete.
