Photo & Science

Photography consists of two separate elements: art and science.
It is through the combination of these two elements that the creation
of world-class photographs can be accomplished.

The science part of photography includes technique and equipment. The artistic part of photography includes the photographer's artistic goals, vision, inspiration and the use of art-related concepts. These two parts need to merge seamlessly for the creation of a successful world-class photograph to take place. If one or these two parts dominates the other the result is either a technically excellent photograph without much artistic interest, or a very artistic photograph lacking technical excellence.
