Photography is a way of taking an image with a camera. The five main features of a standard camera are;

ISO. ISO is your camera sensor’s sensitivity to light.

Shutter Speed. This is the amount of time that your camera’s shutter is open (or “on,” depending on your camera model), exposing light on each frame.

Aperture – the opening in a lens through which light passes to enter the camera..

White Balance – the colour balance on a digital camera.

Frame Rate – the frequency at which images are captured.

Photography is more than just taking a photo. Photography is considered an art form because of how it can capture emotions. it can convey emotions not just through photos of people but through photos of animals, still life, nature, etc.

When taking a photograph you need to consider 3 things – angle lighting and object. using these three techniques defines the difference between a regular photo and photography. Using different angles when taking a photo will explore new perspectives and provide you with more views to tell the story. Lighting is a key factor in creating a successful image. Lighting determines not only brightness and darkness, but also tone, mood, and atmosphere. Simply put, the object is what the photograph is “of” while the subject is what the photograph is “about”.

Photography helps define how we see things especially on the news or online as it plays a big part in media – for example paparazzi’s jobs revolve around photography and getting the perfect shot. Photography plays a crucial role in how we immediately view something. Whether its an ad or promotion, a small blog post, or in today’s top headlines of well known media outlets. The urgency for quality imagery is one step closer in helping create a world with no labels.
