What is Photography?

Talk to different people and you will get different definitions of photography.

  • Some would say it’s an art of capturing light.
  • Some would say it’s an art of freezing a moment. 
  • Some would say it’s an art of storytelling.




While all of above statements are true I would say “Photography is an art of seeing and showcasing life with a different perspective.”




Why photography?

It’s true that our eyes can see things better than a camera. We have better lenses, better and faster processing, but camera wins when it comes to memory and storing.

They day we will be able to print or store our thoughts and show it to others via any medium, we will no longer need a camera.

Photography is not only a great hobby, but also a great profession. It a perfect mix of art and science.

And what’s best about photography?
“Anyone can learn and use this art! It’s no rocket Science !!”
