This paper analyzes the new opportunities and challenges of photography education in the era of intelligent media, and relying on the general trend of the development of industry technology, combined with the exploration and practice of the corresponding education reform in the academic circles, puts forward some suggestions on the reform of photography education and teaching around the reconstruction of the curriculum system, the integration of technology use, the strengthening of the integration of production and education, and the emphasis on ethical education. Under the background of the integration of photography technology and art, the reform of photography education and teaching is carried out with the principle of technical literacy + artistic thinking + humanistic heritage. In this way, we can cultivate a new generation of creative talents who can use the lens language to think, express humanistic feelings with the help of image vision and lead the technology to be good.
