3. The eye behind the lens of any camera is more vital than any photographing tool
and marvelous images can result with the knowledge of the essential principles
of applied art in the modern artform we now know as photography.

ORGANIZATION
ISO sensitivity expresses the
speed of photographic negative
materials (formerly expressed as
ASA).
Since digital cameras do not
use film but use image sensors
instead, the ISO equivalent is
usually given.
- represents film speed, or the equivalent sensitivity of a digital camera’s
sensor.
In traditional (film) photography ISO (or ASA) was the indication of how
sensitive a film was to light. It was measured in numbers (you’ve probably
seen them on films – 100, 200, 400, 800 etc). The lower the number the lower
the sensitivity of the film and the finer the grain in the shots you’re taking.

5. UNDERSTANDING ISO
Experiment with
different ISO settings and
how they create impact in
your images.

6. EXPOSURE TRIANGLE
APERTURE - the size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken, or
the lens opening, or iris, that admits light to the film or sensor. F-stops are the
size of the lens aperture usually measured.
SHUTTER SPEED - the amount of time that the shutter is open. In a
conventional film camera, the shutter is a mechanism consisting of blades, a
curtain, plate or some other movable cover that controls the time during
which light reaches the film.

7. Understanding the
Light Illumination
FRONT LIGHTING - With the source of light (sun) coming in front of the subject,
the subject is evenly lit. This sort of lighting is good for accentuating color.

8. Front Lighting: Good for
accentuating COLOR
FRONT LIGHTING - the subject is evenly lit. Good for PORTRAIT photography.Jasmine Pacatang

9. Understanding the
Light Illumination
BACKLIGHTING – a lighting effect produced when the main light source is located
behind the subject. Backlighting can be used to create silhouette effect.

10. Back Lighting: Good
for Silhouette effect
BACKLIGHTING – a lighting effect produced when the main light source is located
behind the subject. Backlighting can be used to create silhouette effect.

11. Understanding the
Light Illumination
SIDELIGHTING – or the light source can be to the side of the subject, typically
creates both strong shadows and strong highlights.

12. Sidelighting: Creates
Strong Shadows & Highlights
SIDELIGHTING – or the light source
can be to the side of the subject,
typically creates both strong shadows
and strong highlights.

13. Understanding the
Light Illumination
MIXED DIRECTIONAL LIGHTING – subjects can be lit from the back and side, or
frontal, even bounce lighting.

14. Mixed Lighting:
Multi-Directional
MIXED DIRECTIONAL LIGHTING – subjects can be lit from the back and side,
or frontal, even bounce lighting.

15. Understanding the Existing Light
EXISTING LIGHT– also known as the AVAILABLE LIGHT or the illumination that is
already present in the scene. The beauty and challenge of natural light is that it is
constantly changing, directional light that bounces and reflects.Jasmine Pacatang

16. Existing Light: also known
as Available Light
EXISTING LIGHT– also known as the available light or the illumination that is already
present in the scene. The beauty and challenge of natural light is that it is constantly
changing, directional light that bounces and reflects.

17. Understanding the Fill Lighting
Without Flash
FILL LIGHTING – in photography, lighting used to illuminates shadows. Reflectors or
additional incandescent lighting or electronic flash can be used to brighten shadows.
One common technique outdoors is to use the camera’s flash as a fill.
With Flash

18. Understanding the Low-Key Lighting
LOW-KEY – Low-key lighting is a style of lighting for photography, It is a necessary element
in creating a chiaroscuro effect. Traditional photographic lighting, three-point lighting uses
a key light, a fill light, and a back light for illumination. Low-key lighting often uses only one
key light, optionally controlled with a fill light or a simple reflector.
Low key light accentuates the contours of an object by throwing areas into shade while a fill
light or reflector may illuminate the shadow areas to control contrast.

19. Understanding the High-Key Lighting
HIGH-KEY – High-key lighting is a style of lighting for photography that aims to reduce
the lighting ratio present in the scene. This was originally done partly for technological
reasons, since early film and television did not deal well with high contrast ratios, but
now is used to suggest an upbeat mood. High-key lighting is usually quite homogeneous
and free from dark shadows. The terminology comes from the key light (main light).Jasmine Pacatang

20. How to BLUR a
Background
IN photography, to soften an image or part of
an image by throwing it OUT OF FOCUS, or by
allowing it to become soft due to subject or
camera motion.

21. How to BLUR a
Background
BOKEH – word to describe the
aesthetic quality of out-of-focus
parts of an image. Bokeh is a
Japanese word for “blur”.

22. How to BLUR a
Background
DEPTH-OF-FIELD – a distance range in
a photograph in which all included
portions of an image are at least
acceptably sharp. With DSLR, you can
see the available depth-of-field at the
taking aperture by pressing the
depth-of-field preview button.Jasmine Pacatang
