Dinesh Kamath talks about the art of photography

Above 24 photographs are of Dinesh Kamath. All these photos were clicked by different photographers.

Hi,

Today I'll talk about photography. Photography is an interesting art. Each photographer has his or her own style of clicking photographs. This is clear from the way my above 24 photographs are clicked. A good photographer can make even a ugly person look handsome. A bad photographer can make a handsome person look ugly. How the photographs of a person turns out to be is dependent on how the photographer uses his or her camera. Photography is not an easy art. It is not all about just clicking. There are many things a photographer needs to learn before he becomes a professional photographer. Photographer needs to know many things like how to position himself, how to hold the camera, which feature of his subject he or she should focus on, how much light should fall on his or her subject, how far from his or her subject he or she should stand etc while clicking a photograph. I personally love to click photographs of others and at the same time get my own photographs clicked by others. While going through my own photographs I get to know many things about my own self. I begin to understand my own self better. I like to go through photographs of other people too. That's because by doing so I learn a lot more about human nature and human behaviour. In the past photography used to be an expensive art and only privileged people could afford to click photographs and become professional photographers. But today we find every Tom, Dick and Harry enjoying the privilege of clicking photographs with the help of their mobile phone cameras or digital cameras. Photography is no more an expensive business as it used to be in the past - thanks to the modern types of cameras that have come into the market. These cameras can be purchased by even the common man. Since anyone can possess a camera today the profession relating to photography has become very competitive. You have to be an excellent photographer to survive in today's competition. There are possibilities of a person with just the mobile phone camera performing better than a photographer who possesses the most expensive camera. Well, that's all I wanted to talk to you about photography today. Bye!
