Photography, the art of image and light

Photography is the technique and at the same time an art form that allows images to be captured using light, projected and captured either by fixing them on a light-sensitive medium or by converting them into electronic signals.

The development of photography began on August 19, 1839, almost two centuries ago, when the French painter Luis Daguerre presented his latest invention to the French Academy of Sciences: the daguerreotype, the first in history to achieve, capture and fix the photographic image on a metal plate.

From then on, photography has developed a lot to the present day and today anyone can take a photo and leave their memories captured either printed on paper or on the screens of a computer or mobile.

However, not everyone can be a good photographer, let alone a professional one. For this you have to have talent, carry it in your blood, in addition to study the techniques. Among the qualities that a photographer must have, first of all is photographic knowledge or knowhow, then the desire to learn, creativity, passion, patience, persistence, curiosity, vision, being communicative, responsible and above all, something very important, have his own style.

With those attributes and, above all, the love for photography can be achieved. So this Friday, World Photography Day, we urge you to take many images for your approval and that of all those who can observe and enjoy them.
