About Photography
Like dance, music, or any other form of art, photography has no language and can be understood by
anyone.
Like all forms
of art, Photography has its own applications, variations, and techniques. Photography has branched off
to form countless
different types. Examples include street photography, macro photography, food photography and many more!
The art of
taking pictures also comes with its own set of techniques. When taking a photo, a photographer carefully
places the
objects of the photo(a technique called composition) in a way that is visually appealing as well as
remain conscious
about the other factors like light (which is controlled via ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed) that can
drastically
change the photograph.

What is Photography?
When most people think about photography, they think of pictures. Turns out that
there’s more to photography than just the pictures. Photography is all about controlling
light to
enhance
an
image. Photographers use three main components to control the light in their photography:
ISO, Shutter
Speed,
and Aperture. In the past, controlling these features was only possible through professional
cameras,
but
nowadays, mobile phones possess the capability to change ISO and Aperture. Utilizing these
features can
help
take your photography to the next level and change the way you view pictures.
