PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography is the art and process of capturing and recording images through
the manipulation of light through the use of film or digital devices. It is not just snapping a moment in time, but more about the compositions so consider the elements and principles of design when composing your shot.
Lighting, distractions, three pillars, angles, perspective, personalities, and anticipating the action are more considerations. Visual art knowledge and personal intentions will come through in your photography.
Photography Syllabus

Anyone can take a picture. “To create a photograph requires just a little bit of information and a good deal of practice” (Jason Youn). It also takes a little bit of luck as well as being at the right place at the right time.
You will be taking a lot of images so having a camera will be important. You can borrow one from a family member or share one of mine.
