Introduction

Photography goes beyond just what your camera captures—it's about your perspective.

To bring your vision to life, you need to grasp a few fundamental technical aspects and master the art of manipulating light through your camera.

These key technical elements include Shutter Speed, ISO, Aperture, White Balance, and Metering.

If you don't comprehend how these factors affect your photos, it's not the right time to invest in a camera.

If you're a beginner and rush to buy a camera on day one, chances are you'll feel overwhelmed and may give up within a few days.

Motivation tends to fade quickly.

Smartphones And Pro Mode

Fortunately, most of us have smartphones equipped with portable cameras. Start by using the Pro Mode on your smartphone for capturing photos.

This will allow you to understand how cameras function and how you can manipulate light to achieve your desired results.

💡Tip 

These days, phones are not just for taking photos, but also for editing them.

When Should You Buy A Camera?

The best time to purchase a camera is when we have a solid grasp of the fundamental concepts of photography and feel confident, while recognizing that our smartphones are limiting our photographic capabilities.

In conclusion

if you're a beginner interested in exploring photography, there's no need to rush into buying a camera right away. It is recommended to start by learning the basics using your phone.

Once you gain confidence and proficiency, you can consider buying your first camera.
