-PHOTOGRAPHY-
Is it art or is it just the act of capturing a moment in time, in its actuality?
Whichever school of thought you belong to, it’s undeniable that photography has become a massive part of our lives today, and the choice of subject is largely irrelevant. We all take pictures. Lots and lots of them.
For me it’s equally technical and artistic.
To master it you need a generous dose of both.
As an ambassador of FASHION POTLUCK, I get to research and write about all sorts of interesting topics. When they asked me to create a series of photography guides I was thrilled. I got to share my knowledge and passion with you guys and hopefully help you become better and more aware everyday photographers.
Skip the fancy equipment, skip the overly complicated tutorials and just click on the each one of the images below to get started.
I generally see photography as a means of capturing moments, but I am often photographing my children. Although when I am taking photos of my recipes for my blog, it’s completely artistic.
I’ve seen your food photography and it’s really cool Steph!
I NEEDED THIS!! I’ve got all the “right” equipment but I just don’t feel like my photos are where they need to be. Hopefully it’ll help!
Always happy to help! Feel free to dm me shall you need more help!
Photography is just not my strength! THakfully my husband loves it!
ah, you are so lucky! We all need someone skilled in photography, right? 😉
That’s so awesome you were asked to write a series on photography. I’ve been diving into composition lately and it is hard to work on that. It’s not always something that comes naturally to me.
Practice makes perfect! Your photos are really interesting btw 😉
Photography is one of those things that I love because these moments are ones to cherish. Other people’s photos are always so amazing to see as I am still learning!
Indeed, you can capture so many moments in a frame!
Thank you for the tips, this is an area I need help with. 🙂
happy to help!
I’m so in awe of talented photographers. It’s something I’d love to learn more about!
I hope these tutorials will help you Christa!
You’re so talented! Photography is on my list of things to get better at!
It’s just the result of a lot of practice and trial and error 🙂
I think it means both. It depends how you feel and what you do with it. Doing for others for like family photos I think is capturing a moment obviously, but I think if anything else like landscapes, objects or anything if that sort, is art.
It’s definitely one of those things that you’ve got to practise a lot! Either way, I love it and I love capturing precious moments.
We love taking photos. Still have old school film cameras, too, haha. Crazy.
I’m always game to learning something more about photography. I have the equipment and take photos everyday. This was helpful.
Wow! That was an absolutely great post! I really love photography and I enjoy reading your post!
Oh my! how awesome! I’m forever pinning your guides because I would love to learn a little about photography and never know where to start!
That’s so exciting to hear Nati! Best of luck with your photography journey!
Thank you so much! I bookmarked this post. I’ve been trying to up my photography game!
