Digital Photography FAQs
By Kevin Chung
Who am I & why do my opinions matter? Frankly – I’m not that important (yet), and my opinions aren’t really worth more than that of anyone else. That said, I’ve remained comfortably employed through photography for the past few years & as I’m often asked photography-related questions by people who’ve followed my progress, this is my way of giving back. I love photography, so my FAQ answers & Digital Photography Resources were written with aspiring photographers & enthusiasts alike in mind – hopefully some of my experiences with both technique & equipment will help you move forward quickly with your own photographic pursuits!
In sharing this information, we should keep in mind that photography is an art – not a science. What works for me might not work for you, and vice versa, just as buying the latest & greatest gear won’t compare with buying the right gear for your application. Technical knowledge obviously mean a great deal with digital photography, but being a successful photographer is all about balancing the technical with the intangibles – in terms of both equipment & technique. There are no photographers you can’t learn from (no matter how bad they are!), just as there are few photographers who you should put on any pedestal. It isn’t about your gear or how you should shoot – only YOU are the photographer, so it’s (literally) in your hands! Happy shooting!
