Photographic techniques

Photographic techniques refer to methods used to capture images effectively. Key techniques include composition, which involves framing subjects to create visual interest; exposure, which controls the amount of light hitting the camera sensor; and focus, which determines how sharp or blurred an image appears. Other important aspects are lighting, influencing mood and clarity, and shutter speed, affecting motion capture (still or blurred). Understanding these techniques helps photographers convey emotion, story, and beauty in their images, whether using a professional camera or a smartphone.
