Photography has come a long way since its inception in the mid to late 1800s. Yet whilst the apparatus (the camera) used to capture the image and the final production of the image has changed dramatically. Even though the technology has changed a lot the techniques for filming images are still the same. Once understood and mastered, these basic principles allow a photographer to point the camera and shoot a quality image that any photographer can be proud of.

2. You should build around the central concept so that several photos can be shot to display the theme perfectly to the viewers taking them along your with your story.
3. There is not great photographic techniques required for capturing some eye catching photos. Ensuring that there are no distractions taking away from the central theme. An image should ensure that trees are not seen coming out of peoples heads or that power lines are not a distraction. A good image includes only those elements that are of importance to the theme of the image.
