B&H Photo Video: Introduction to Learning Photography

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - October 28, 2015) -

In a continuing effort to bring you the best of everything about photography, B&H Photo introduces the new ‘Learn Photography Portal.’ If you just picked up your first camera, or are thinking about getting a camera, or, even if you are a seasoned pro, we hope that you enjoy your educational journey through this course while you enjoy the experience of a photographic journey through life.

Photography is an art. It is an art form that is personal and unique for all who participate in its riches. From birthday-party snapshots, to travel postcards, to memorable natural vistas, to commercial imagery, to abstract fine art, photography is many things to many people. But, it is all photography.

Photography is a technically based art form. Compared to other visual arts like painting, drawing, and sculpture, photography is the genre most dependent on technology. From the earliest camera obscura and daguerreotype images to the digital sensors not yet in production, photography has been entrenched in the world of technology.

Because of this, there is an inherent benefit to knowing the technology behind your camera as it pertains to its physical operation, the camera’s controls, and how the camera and lens work together to bend, control, and record light.
