Photography Techniques
How do we achieve our vision technically? The hardest part of photography is all about the vision, the rest is the technical aspect.
When I was in high school I was full on into computers. When I was old enough to choose between doing Design class or Woodwork, I chose Design, because it was a class where we would use computers. I remember thinking I would be great at it straight away because I knew how to do everything on computers and design programs, and, well, formatting some text on a page and changing sliders to change how a picture looked, “How hard could it be?”

When I want to have black and white photos, I put black and white film in my camera.
