Photography is not about taking pictures with a fancy camera. It is about capturing moments. Have you noticed, while going through your old photograph you unknowingly relive the moment? And that is the power of good photography.

One cannot learn the art of capturing the moment with force. It is an in-built function that a human is born with. There are various types of photography starting from animal photography to fashion, editorial photography to portrait.

And now the best part is that in India there are colleges offering photography courses. For example, there is a BA in Photography in India, and one of the best colleges offering this course is the Symbiosis School of Photography (SSP) college in Pune.


What is photography?

Everyone has their definition of photography. Passion to put anything into a beautiful frame is the key to every photography. The right instinct of capturing the time brings out the right emotion. You may click from a phone but yet capture the beauty of the moment, if you have an eye for it.

You might be a good photographer, but you can be better by learning some of the required knowledge for photography. To click a good picture, watch the light, use flash when you are clicking outdoors, and lock your focus before your click. And even sometimes, make yourself the picture director.

Take charge for the picture you want to click. Add props, keep checking your clicked pictures and make it better with a better angle. Photography is an art of visuals and you can click good photographs by studying them.
