1, learned the computer - as a photographic assistant - to become a photographer, there is nothing wrong, but there is no relationship between knowing the computer and knowing the photography, film era photographers simply do not need to know anything about the Computer knowledge, if you learn Photoshop, but in today's very useful.
2. I'm not sure what you mean by "good or bad" photographers, technical or personal? If it is technology, I think at present you are still difficult to say a photographer's technical level; if it is character, then to take the best, at least to become a photographer, even if the character of the poor, but also its knowledge of photography.
3, the work in the studio will enable you to get a lot of real photographic knowledge, such as lighting set is a very complex program, professional studio there are a lot of top-notch equipment, certain cameras or lenses may be outside the lifetime can not be touched, will be using the Mamiya camera female photographers will be very pulling.
4, but do not be superstitious studio level, carefully arranged scenes out of this door can not be used, commercial photography is to make money for the art, and make money for the art of photography. The world, every moment can become a classic in the lens, as long as the heart.
5, upstairs there is a hummingbird senior member, his macro is very bull X, the understanding of insects is also very professional (it seems that this guy is engaged in biology, there are some macro bull, and not in the studio layout, huh), if you are interested in this, he is not a good teacher.
6, back, since the studio work, must pay attention to the process of each shot, no matter how good or bad your photographer, think about why he did it, for example, he put the light box at a 45-degree angle, and you have not thought about 60-degree angle will be better?
7, unless he has something against you (in which case, I'm with you on the "not for the sake of it" argument), I'd suggest thinking about this guy, and other photographers, and realize that the guy in the gallery is a weirdo, and that this business is textbook for your beginnings.
8, there is time to seriously learn Photoshop, although in the eyes of many professional photographers, post-production is a shame, but the trend of digital has created a large number of image software, the future of female photographers will eventually 1Ds or D3 as a weapon, and then the future, perhaps with a Hasselblad also add a digital back (sky high ah).
9, more look at the life around you, the New York Institute of Photography textbook has a saying: photography material within a mile radius of you. Maybe that photographer who turns your stomach is one of them? See this small community so you can see the larger one, observe your surroundings and be ready to shoot.
10, real photography comes from reality, I admire the documentary photographers who don't need perfect details, including news photographers who record the reality of what's happening in our world, the smiles or the teardrops, the calm or the intensity, and nature photography, like the classic National Geographic photographs, so, at some point, get out of your studio.
