Introduction

Photography refers to activities that aim in capturing representations of the physical or tangible world, that are later processed to achieve an accurate or modified perspective which is shown on a different medium, as is the intent of the persons or persons involved in the process.

In practical terms, the process involves using an adequately equipped camera, processing an image, based on a criteria, on a computing device, and placing the image on a website or platform or stored locally, displayed on a display, on a paper or another printed form.

Structure and objectives

The present guide offers the required understanding regarding current technology and techniques. This includes dedicated, semi-professional or professional cameras, as well as ones integrated into smartphones and tablets. Where necessary, different approaches are devised to make the best use of equipment. Editing is considered as being carried out on a dedicated computer or laptop, as it offers a display that is large enough to evaluate the quality of the image and the resulting editing processes. For smartphones and tablets it is possible to edit images on the device itself, although there are major limitations in editing features which do not make such a solution advisable except when there are no alternatives.
