How many photographers are complaining that the guests do not understand their value at all, finally spent tens of thousands of dollars on camera equipment, spent 5 or 6 years studying photography techniques, and finally occupying more complex photography circles than on the rivers and lakes. Have a place, the ultimate person to say that the picture with the roadside little studio 499 yuan map no difference? ! In order to verify whether or not the average person is so ignorant, we have done an interesting experiment of blind guessing the price of the photo, and you have to test it.
In fact, the inspiration for Xiao Bian to do this test is that some of the daily photographer friends complain about something like that. Every day, I can hear a lot of people's feelings of internal injuries. Here are some simple examples.
Photographer A: “I was asked about it two days ago. I just recorded her travel itinerary. It was better than the ordinary people, but it didn’t have the theme, and I didn’t need to create special clothing. Then I thought that I usually set a price of 1,500 yuan a photo, her request is so low and it is to travel, then I simply went out and play well, I gave him 300 shots one afternoon. She actually asked me if we are all so expensive here?"
Photographer B: “Someone asked me for a quotation. I said 2000 packs of costumes. She told me that another one had only 1600. I said that if you look for another one, I feel that many people can't tell the photographer’s level difference at all. To see who is cheap and who to look for, next door, there are 299 bags and 3 sets of costumes to send crystal albums.
Photographer C: “A lot of people think that the photographer is just pressing a shutter and taking the cost of the camera to price us, it's ridiculous to say what it takes to press the shutter for only 50 cents. How much does it cost you so much? Oh, what about Picasso's paintings, how much did it take for us to spend so much money and time learning the technology?
Here is the test~
This experiment was based on the photographer’s quotation and basically divided them into three grades. The high school, the low trio, and a total of two groups were tested. Let the non-photographed subjects, without knowing who the photographer is or who does not know the quote, only look at the pictures to rank the three photographers in each group by price from highest to lowest, and guess the highest The photographer took the photo price. Each group of experimental maps is divided into three bar charts from left to right. The five picture combinations in the photographer's recent works are selected as a bar. All pictures have been authorized by the photographer.
Experimental group one
Experimental group 1 photographer works
The total number of participants in the experiment was 10, 7 were female, 3 were male, the correct rate of female sorting was 85.7%, and the correct rate of male sorting was 0%. The following are the specific experimental results.
The experimental group 1 test results gender nickname high school high and low prices choose who took women BCA 3000 C women dream BCA 5000 do not find women BCA 5000 B women pure BCA 2000 do not find lesbian BCA 1500 do not find women Su CBA 5000 C Women are not looking for BCA 6000 male Ga CBA 5000 male Chish CBA 3000 male CBA 2000The correct answer is B photographer 3000 yuan, C photographer 1500 yuan, A photographer 800 yuan, have you got it right?
When we asked whether several female subjects would look for one of them to take a photo, only three people were reluctant to give candidates, while most others felt that there was no need to take pictures. Here are a few testees told us The selection criteria.
Xiaojia: “B though it can be seen that the photographer’s technique is good but the characters are not very prominent, the client wants people to remember themselves rather than the photographer.â€
Xiao Meng: "Everything is expensive, and some mutual-impaired photographers can shoot similar ones. There is no need to spend so much money."
Xiao Yuan: "The shape and location of B are more diverse. I like this kind of non-daily feeling. Since spending money, we must experience a different life."
Xiao Su: "To be honest, I really don't know what to choose. I feel that B and C are basically the same but C is cheap."
Experimental group two
Experimental group two photographer works
The number of participants in Experiment 2 was 8 in total, 3 males and 5 females. The correct rate of females was 80%, and the correct rate of males was 30%. Because Experiment 2 and most of the subjects in the experiment were duplicated, they would not ask them if they would take these photographers. The answer would be basically the same. The following are the specific experimental results.
Experimental Group 2 Test Results Gender Nickname High School High High Price Female Good D E F 3000 Female Dream D E F 3000 Female Round D E F 4000 Female Pure D E F 1500 Female Su D F E 4000 Male Van D E F 3000 Male Soup E D F 2000 Male Bin E D F 1500The correct answer is D photographer 3000 yuan, E photographer 1300 yuan, F photographer 500 yuan, you right?
Experimental results
Gender difference
Judging from the correct rate, the difference between men and women is still quite large. Does this mean that straight men have no artistic cells? ? ? Women are basically able to distinguish between high school and low school. Although some of the testees bowed in the middle and high school, after careful comparison, they are basically selected correctly, while men are considered to be completely annihilated. The results from the photo-shooting audience are actually expected. After all, most of the photographers looking to take pictures are women. They are more likely than men to look at photography pictures and to know about shooting.

2. Aesthetic demarcation line
Fortunately, although there will be confusion in the mid-to-high end, everyone can choose the photographer who offers the cheapest price. This proves that photography is good or anything related to art. It is easy to get started. . However, this result will cause many master photographers to feel hurt internally because once the standard of photography has exceeded the maximum limit that ordinary people can understand, no matter how high the level is, others will rarely buy it. This should be regarded as all art industries. Sadness.

3. What kind of chart can make the most money
According to the questions answered by the female subjects in Experiment 1, although they guessed that the price did not differ much from the actual price, and even guessed it was higher than the actual price, when asked whether these photographers would choose to shoot Most of the first reactions are actually not found. Occasionally, a few people are asking if they must be selected. This proves that most people do not have much demand for this, and there is no concept of the price of the photo shoot, and the person who guesses too high may be influenced by the friends who are married around him and take the price of the wedding photos as Reference guess the price of ordinary photo.
From a few selected three women looking for photographers to take pictures, in fact, they are more inclined to mid-range photographers, but the reasons are varied, there are feelings of benefit, there is no strong individual feel that the mid-range photographers Features can better represent the true appearance of customers. See here Xiao Bian wants to knock on the key ~ Everyone wants to rely on photography to make money friends remember Oh, the map customers want and photographers want to take pictures is actually not the same focus, if you want to make more money, then you must shoot customers The kind you want!
If the level of photography is too high to reach the artistic level, many sisters cannot understand it. After all, most people are looking for a photographer to take pictures just want to show them to their friends and say “I’m not very beautiful to see thisâ€~ not being friends. Say, "It's a trick, it doesn't seem to be you." Your picture is to please other people or to please yourself, this is estimated that many photographers are entangled in a lifetime.
Demonstration results: The average person can distinguish between 500 and 3000 photo-realistic differences! It is impossible to tell the difference between 1500 blocks and 3,000 blocks.
Have you seen a lot of new thinking about the status quo of the photography industry in this experiment? How do you choose a photographer as a customer? What kind of photos should I take as a photographer? There is nothing wrong with speaking to anyone, just look at what you care about.
