Features: "General Photography" is a concept co-summarized by the author and me, and this book was created to elaborate on this idea. It originated from a snow day when we were eating hot pot cooked over charcoal. At that time, we discussed that the popular photography textbooks introduced from abroad are like Western cuisine—though very nutritious, they lack the charm of Chinese hot pot. Photography, once it reaches China, becomes Chinese photography! We introduced the concept of "General Photography."
1. The "General" between using a camera and artistic creation. Photography differs from arts like painting; the camera and photography have a father-son relationship—without the camera, photography would not exist. In practice, this is a matter of both internal and external cultivation.
2. The "General" between traditional cameras and digital cameras. Based on the commonality of photography, it covers the specificity of digital cameras, ensuring that readers do not fall into the illusion of "blindly" (like a blind man) due to excessive focus on "digital." We have also collected over one hundred photography Q&A, providing independent explanations for questions that are difficult to fit into the system but are of concern to readers.
3. The "General" of photography genres. The entire book covers three aspects: "How to shoot," "What to shoot," and "How to get the photo," striving to replace multiple holes with a single door. The content is extensive and comprehensive; the illustrations are perfectly paired with the theory, with the theoretical analysis and visual explanations akin to climbing a mountain and viewing the scenery—the most enlightening images often appear after concise theoretical analysis. The text is easy to understand, with each question capable of standing alone. You can start reading from any page.
