PHOTOGRAPHY IS THE ART, APPLICATION, 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.

Photography is often used to capture moments throughout time, save a memory, and can also tell stories. Whether the photo taken is of a person, place, or object the photo will be stored and saved unless deleted or forgotten. When you take a photograph and share it with others, you’re showing a moment that was frozen through a picture. This moment can tell someone many things, from the environment to what people are doing.

When taking a photo, you need to think about specific angles, lighting, whether the camera is in focus, how far you zoom in or out, and if you are capturing the moment in landscape or portrait.

There are seven different types of photography which you can learn and practice to build a strong foundation for your photography career. These different types are, sports photography, photojournalism, still life photography, fashion photography, editorial photography, portrait photography and architectural photography.
