Imagine Aarohi, a learning community where we learn from anyone…just like that! Photography is an art or science or both? A day (just few hours) with Supratim was enriching to explore photography as a science and an art too!

Photography began even before cameras were born!
Is it drawing with light?
It’s all stated with Agno3 ( silver nitrate) – in presence of light it passed gases.
Photography was also used for drawing and painting. X-rays is also s type of photography.
Radioactivity ( x-ray), Electromagnetic waves ( light),
Photography is also about capturing shadow.
Olden days photography was understood as capturing shadow…have you heard about Silhouette photography?
Photography does not need a camera…you need to see through your eyes before camera captures it. Do I really want to take picture of this moment?
Composition in photography begins with looking for
1 Frame, – look for patterns, look for style, Silhouette, colurs,
2 Subject – eyes of the fig, a lead
3 Position
Rule of thirds – If you put your object in third grid, the composition is powerful
