What is Photography?

Photography is the art, science, and practice of creating durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.

Key Concepts

Exposure

The amount of light that reaches your camera sensor, controlled by ISO, aperture, and shutter speed.

Focus

The sharpness of your subject. You can control what's in focus and what's blurred.

Composition

How you arrange elements in your frame to create visually appealing images.

  2. Practice focusing on different parts of a scene
  3. Experiment with natural light at different times of day
