Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 1 of the Photography Explained podcast. This week – What is Photography?

I’m your host Rick and each week I will try to explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes without the irrelevant details. My aim is to explain things in just enough detail to help us with our photography and no more.

So what exactly is photography?
The word photography is made from two Greek words, photos which means light, and graphé which means drawing.

So photography is drawing with light.

What is photography to me?
Photography has been a huge part of my life since my early teens. And this is a long time ago I can assure you! Photography is the thing that I have spent my entire adult life studying, learning, practicing, sharing and enjoying. Photography has taken me to so many unique places and given me so many unforgettable experiences.
