Photography is a complex hobby. It is an art, a science and a craft. To be a photographer you need to be able to understand complex relationships. For example, the overall exposure is comprised of the amount of light that hits the sensor. The aperture, shutter speed and the sensitivity of the film or camera sensor control the amount of light. Understanding the interrelationships between these three elements is critical have success and fun as a photographer.
There are no standards for any artistic endeavor. For example there is the rule of thirds, which says that if you divide a rectangle into nine squares most people’s eye will travel to the center square. Artists know when to comply with this rule and when and how to break it. If you apply this rule to all of your photographs they will be predictable and boring. Yet if you are doing a portrait, nine out of ten times the subject will be centered. Viewing the work of famous portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh will help you to understand this.
