What are the Basics of Photography?
Starting with an example: if you want to read a book, you need to know the alphabet. Similarly, if you want to be a good photographer, you need to learn the basic principles that apply to every category of photography, and you need to practice them continuously.
There are two parts to basic photography:
- General
- Specified
General refers to having basic knowledge of Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science, as photography relies on these fields. It’s also important to understand the basic techniques of photography. Proper knowledge of the camera and equipment can provide extra strength to stay ahead in photography.
Specified refers to the different fields of photography, such as:
- Photojournalism
- Studio Photography
- Still Life Photography
- Wildlife Photography
- Documentary Photography
- Wedding Photography
- Underwater Photography
- Aerial Photography
If you are interested in learning any specific category of photography, you need to learn about that category from scratch after understanding the basics of photography.
