Photography is an art. It is a way to express oneself through the beauty of a lens. Culture, societal norms, people, ideas and history are transmitted through photos. Photography can tell a story without having to talk.
Photography also represents different backgrounds as well as culture. Different colors, strobes and lightings emphasize subjects and ideas. Photos also show different types of emotion as well. Subjects can be seen happy, mad, sad, expressionless, etc. and still tell a great story through their emotions. Photography is all around us and is a means used to express different types of things.
