0Today's technology provides a great space for the media industry, especially photography. From the mobile phone, iPad, tabs, point-shoot, DSLR and mirrorless cameras. So these technical developments are creating several budding photographers all over the world. Billions and Billions of images are being uploaded on social media space every day, which means billions of phones and cameras capturing images every second. Due to this development, most of the people calling themselves a photographer but they need to understand the basic principles of photography.
Photography is not just capturing images, its more than that. Graphy represents art. Any art contains certain tools and practices. The speciality of any art is about its unique creative expressions. Here, cameras are tools that help us to capture the images, but creative skills and uniqueness are not tools, it's in your experience.
Casual Photographer Vs Professional Photographers
Both are photographers in common, but casual photographers intend to click several random pictures and upload them. They don't have any constructive ideas on the art of photography. They are more relay on automated tools in the camera, and their pics don't express any uniqueness. But when it comes to professional photographers, they provide more time on learning other supportive arts like fashion, modelling, kids' behaviour, body language, client services, the psychology of images, Wildlife behaviours and more. They develop their photography skills based on the field which they select like events, fashion. Journalism and their pictures are more purposeful and represent the relative arts.
Few examples for your understanding
- Wildlife photography must learn the animals and jungle structures and behaviours without this basic knowledge they cant be a wildlife photographer. Based on these requirements, the professional wildlife photographer chooses the camera and lenses. (Wildlife photography includes some macro species also).
- For Fashion photography, they must understand the designer's ideas and express those ideas through pictures.
- Any event photographers must understand the client's needs and requirements. The photographer must follow the event protocols.
The advance cameras help you to capture the image but to choose the perfect tools you need to the field correctly.
