Photography

listen

If you want to be a good photographer you should ask yourself three simple questions each time you feel like taking a picture. Why do I want to take this picture? What is the subject of my picture? What con I do to make my picture special? This simple analysis is the first step in the long process of learning how to use photography to communicate to others what you see. A photograph is not a photocopy but rather a creative interpretation of a visual event. This explains why, even though you went to the football match or the concert, you are interested in reading about it the next day in the newspaper. Some basic tips to improve your pictures are: get as close as possible; don't take 'here we are in" tourist pictures; be patient if the light is bad come back later; if you're not convinced don't shoot.
