PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS

I write this articles is only to give my honour to my seniors and all of my mentors in Photography and to help the others to learn photography easier. I write it into English intentionally to make these articles can be read by everyone in all over the world.

Photography is actually an art in painting or creating a 3 dimension object into 2 dimension object with lighting. So lighting is the most important element in photography.

According to Kompas Daily Editor, a senior photographer, Arbain Rambey, in Photography, there are five important elements. Those are  lighting, technique, composition, angle and moment . Meanwhile in Portrait Photography there are just 5 important elements. Those are Expression, Gesture, Lighting, Harmony with background and Technical Quality

Nowadays, Photography turn into many kinds of specialization e.g. aerial photography, beauty photography, glamour photography, landscape photography, architecture photography, human interest photography, fine art photography, still life photography, etc.

I prefer to learn about beauty photography and still life photography because they can make an easier cash flow. But every specialization is actually has special lover and special purpose.

I.  Camera 

In digital world recently, many photographers look like prefer to have their own DSLR. Actually there are pocket, prosumer and DSLR camera in the market now. In the past, a photographers must deal with a complicated negative film camera, but now they’ve already changed their gun. Pocket camera has only flexibility in size and cost but not in image quality production. But many journalists especially in danger areas still bring their pocket camera. Meanwhile prosumer is the middle between DSLR and pocket. Prosumers at a glance has shape similar with DSLR but their lens can’t be changed anyway but they usually can produce a high quality image. DSLR is derived from Digital Single Lens Reflex abbreviation. The producers claim that this kind of camera can give the users a high quality image, but I suppose that image quality is depend on the photographer ability, lens and type of camera. In the past there is camera called SLR, it’s truly different with DSLR which DSLR use digital design and SLR use manual design. Can we imagine use that kind of camera ? Must be hard to be learned.
