Hue Wu is a professional wedding photographer who has been engaged in wedding photography for four years. He also pointed out that because of the lockdown, he can no longer continue to work. Many photography studios are facing the risk of bankruptcy. As photographic equipment is much more expensive than other work equipment, and because they cannot obtain income during this lockdown period, it is difficult for the photography studio to add new equipment to maintain the previous work. Besides, photographers need to serve customers face to face, and the COVID-19 safety manner makes this kind of service impossible.

At the same time, he also pointed out that the entire photography industry is facing enormous challenges, and photographers must find new ways to survive to make a living. Hue also believes that we should follow the COVID-19 safety manner to lockdown, and he is currently trying more documentary photography.
Based on the current situation, Hue believes that this is an excellent opportunity to cultivate and improve ourselves. Although it is difficult for us to obtain new income during the lockdown period, we also have more time to learn new shooting methods or understand different Shooting skills. For example, the rise of Tik Tok will allow photographers to learn a lot of new shooting techniques.
Regarding the industry's changes caused by the epidemic, Hue believes that since it is difficult to serve customers face-to-face, shooting videos for customers has become a new way of working. During the epidemic, more people will choose videos to record their lives. And he also believes that there will be more video job opportunities in the photography industry in the future

Under the threat of Covid-19, where should the photography industry and the film industry go?
