Lighting: Understanding the different types of lighting, including natural light, artificial light, and special effects.
Exposure: Understanding the exposure triangle of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, to achieve the correct exposure for your photos and videos.
Color Theory: Understanding the psychological effects of color and how to use it to create mood and atmosphere in your photos and videos.
White Balance: Understanding how to set the correct white balance for your photos and videos based on the lighting conditions.
Storytelling: Understanding how to tell a story through your photos and videos by creating a narrative arc, building tension and release, and developing characters.
Editing: Understanding how to edit your photos and videos using software like Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, to enhance their quality and create a finished product.
Audio: Understanding the importance of audio in visual communication and how to capture and edit sound for videos.
Camera Movement: Understanding the different types of camera movement, including zooming, panning, and tilting, to create dynamic visual effects.
Visual Effects: Understanding how to use visual effects software to add special effects, 3D elements, and other enhancements to your photos and videos.
Ethics: Understanding the ethical considerations involved in visual communication, including copyright, privacy, and image manipulation.
Portrait Photography: Focuses on capturing a person's face, expression, and mood. Often used for personal or professional purposes.
Landscape Photography: Focuses on capturing the beauty of outdoor landscapes, such as mountains, oceans, and forests.
Macro Photography: Focuses on capturing small subjects and details up close.
Wildlife Photography: Focuses on capturing animals in their natural habitats.
Sports Photography: Focuses on capturing live action sports events and athletes.
Street Photography: Focuses on capturing life and culture in public places.
Fashion Photography: Focuses on capturing clothing, accessories, and models in stylized and creative ways for advertising and editorial purposes.
Travel Photography: Focuses on capturing travel destinations and cultural experiences around the world.
Event Photography: Covers various types of events such as concerts, weddings, conferences, and festivals.
Documentary Photography: Focuses on capturing real-life situations and events to tell a story or raise awareness.
Architectural Photography: Focuses on capturing the design and structure of buildings and other man-made structures.
Food Photography: Focuses on capturing food and beverages in a visually appealing way for advertising and editorial purposes.
Aerial Photography: Captures photos and video from a bird's eye view, often from planes, helicopters, or drones.
Underwater Photography: Focuses on capturing photographs and video from beneath the surface of the water.
Fine Art Photography: Aims to create images that are expressive and artistic, often for display in galleries or exhibitions.

Time-Lapse Photography: Captures a series of photos over a period of time to create a time-lapse effect.
Virtual Reality Photography: Captures 360-degree photos and videos to create an immersive experience for viewers.
Night Photography: Focuses on capturing images in low light conditions using long exposures and specialized equipment.
Cinematography: The art of visual storytelling through film or video. The process involves capturing, editing, and producing video content for various purposes such as entertainment, advertising, and education.
"It is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g., photolithography), and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication."
"A lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure."
"With an electronic image sensor, this produces an electrical charge at each pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent display or processing."
"The result with photographic emulsion is an invisible latent image, which is later chemically 'developed' into a visible image, either negative or positive, depending on the purpose of the photographic material and the method of processing."
"A negative image on film is traditionally used to photographically create a positive image on a paper base, known as a print, either by using an enlarger or by contact printing."
"It is employed in... art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication."
