WHAT IS PHOTOGRAPHY
D
 PHOTOGRAPHY
• A simple definition of photography is that it is the process of
capturing light with a device known as a camera and creating
an image.
• That camera could come in various forms by a modern
interpretation, including cell phone cameras, digital cameras,
and traditional analog cameras. 
PHOTOGRAPHY AS AN ART
PHOTOGRAPHY AS AN ART
The Photographer as Artist Focusing
a camera on a subject and clicking
the shutter is photography as a
process. They discern the significant
moment or a unique expression,
framing it in the camera viewfinder
with an eye for composition, and
then clicking the shutter, and that is
photography as art.

COMMUNICATION

viewed as being more than just beautiful. It is also considered
one of the most powerful means of communication.

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
WHAT IS DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
• Another method for creating a unique picture is to capture it
first as a digital file. In the case of today’s electronic
technology, that would mean recording the image using a
digital camera or a device with a built-in camera, like your
mobile phone, android device, or tablet.
• It also allows photographers to capture, edit, and develop
images without the use of film. 
 DIFFERENCE
Photography
• Before the invention of the digital
camera, the cameras used a light
sensitive film as the sensor. The
chemical layer on the surface of
the film gets reacted upon incident
light rays strike it. The image is
recorded as the reacted amount of
the chemical components.
Digital Photography
• Digital photography is
based on the same
technology as the film based
camera. But instead of the
film, the digital camera uses
an optical sensor to capture
the image.
POINT-AND-SHOOT CAMERA
 WHAT IS A POINT-AND-SHOOT CAMERA?

• Point and shoot, in terms of cameras, refers to the type of still

camera that has an autofocus and a built-in flash component. It
is widely used by non-professionals because it is easy to use
and comes in a user-friendly, compact size. Point-and-shoot
cameras became popular in late 1980s and are by far the best-
selling standalone cameras on the market.
 FEATURES
• automatically makes all the adjustments in lighting, focus, zoom-in, and zoom-out, and removal of “red
eye”.

• offers image enhancement features like adjusting color and brightness imbalances, as well as sharpening
or blurring the image.

• offers unique effects like “fisheye” or filters that allow pre-setting of the photo to be taken with a
colored tint or a special texture

• allows the user to immediately review the photos taken without waiting for a complex developing
process

• can delete any unsatisfactory images while storing the good ones for future needs
DIGITAL SINGLE LENS REFLEX (DSLR)
CAMERA
 WHAT ARE DSLR CAMERA?
• provides the filmless and instant review features of a “point-
and-shoot” type of digital camera
• gives the photographer much more artistic freedom and
control to select the camera settings to create the desired final
image with the preferred visual effects
 WHAT ARE DSLR CAMERA?
• It can autofocus and hold thousands of photos on their internal
memory.
• DSLR is a term that’s become synonymous with digital
cameras, but a digital single-lens reflex camera (notable for
allowing interchangeable lenses on the same camera body) is
just one type of digital camera.

BASIC GUIDELINES FOR CAPTURING A GOOD QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE:
 BASIC TIPS
• Choose a good location. An interesting location can sometimes
make the difference between a good and a great photo.

• Check that the available background is relatively simple and

not too cluttered so that the focus will be on your chosen
subject.
 BASIC TIPS
• Natural light in the outdoors or near a window is usually the
most flattering or effective for any kind of subject. Ideally, the
best light for photos is within the first hour after sunrise and
the last hour before sunset

• Avoid taking shots facing the light, as this would make your
subject back-lit and most of the details would be lost in
shadow.
