Photography involves capturing images using light. There are four key elements: subject, composition, light, and exposure. Choosing a compelling subject is essential. A photographer should consider placement in the frame, perspective, lighting, and how to portray ordinary subjects unusually. Emphasizing the subject and telling its story through surroundings helps create impactful photographs. Practice is important for developing an eye for interesting subjects.
