Basically photography is a combination of visual imagination and
design, craft skills, and practical organizing ability. Try not to become
absorbed in the craft detail too soon. Begin by putting it into
perspective with a broad look at what making photographs is all about.
On the one hand there is the machinery and the techniques themselves.
On the other you have the variety of approaches to picture making –
aiming for results ranging from something objective, factual and
precise, to work which is self-expressive and open to interpretation.
Why do you want to take photographs? What is actually involved?
What roles do photographs play, relative to other ways of making
pictures or expressing information and ideas? And what makes a result
good or bad anyway?
