Photography: What Should Be In Your Bag?


Photography, in the new age, is not just a hobby but a full-fledged career option that needs skills. With a mobile phone in everyone’s hand, our access to a camera is just a click away, however, it does not mean all of us can become professional photographers. Photography is more than just capturing an image. It is about composition, storytelling, capturing the right moment, evoking emotion and more.
A professional photographer with one picture brings multiple aspects to the table. The photography course at JD Institute of Fashion Technology prepares the student to create impactful images and know the details of clicking out-of-box photos along with learning how to develop editorial and commercial photographs. But to excel as a photographer there are certain pre-requisites. These pre-requisites help you to perform exceptionally in your course and achieve the goals you’re aiming for. And these pre-requisites are not the skill sets you develop but the basic gear that need to be in your bag all the time:
1. Camera:
2. Lenses:
3. Memory Card:
4. Tripod:
5. Battery:
Under any situation, you don’t want your camera to drain out of the battery. You always need to carry extra batteries so that if your current battery runs out of power, you always have an alternative. Carrying extra batteries doesn’t occupy space and also helps you complete your project properly without any technical hindrance.
6. Flash:
In your beginner’s kit, do add flash. Proper use of flash helps you to capture good images at night or in dark hours. Moreover, flash adds light to the image, brings in good contrast and fill in dark shadows that at times ruin images.
Photography is an interesting career choice that needs you to be always on your toes, to capture the right moment. Through photos, you tell a story and at JD Institute of Fashion Technology photography enthusiasts are nourished to develop the skills and aptitude to carry out professional photography. The Diploma in Fashion Photography integrates classroom learnings with practical training and live projects.
