What is it?
Why do people take/make photographs?
People capture photographs as a way of conveying a story, to capture one's own history, or to reminisce dusted memories. It is vital that we make these efforts to preserve our knowledge about the present and past. Without photography, everyone would forget what the world was like in previous years. We wouldn't be able to progress and evolve together as people.
Why is photography important?
Photography is important as it allows for many people to capture a moment that highlights a time in their own or other people's life. We can make assumptions that can be connected to the content and style shown before our very eyes.
What skills do you need to be a good photographer?
For a person to be skilful in photography, they must have a variety of characteristics and personal skills in mind. Habits can be:
1. a good level of perception
2. discipline
3. critical-thinking
4. persistence
5. deep understanding.
Honing these characteristics can inevitably lead to a great photograph being created.

How does photography help us see the world?
Photography can help bring together a collective narrative of different opinions, conflicts, and debates. It can help shed light on distant stories which can influence the viewer in many ways, as well as to convey the deep-end of complex experiences. As with good there is also bad; photography can present the negativity in ways that can simultaneously promote a positive reaction.
Can photography be trusted?
Photography is like watching through the eyes of a camera; similar to our eyes. But with the rise of digital editing software, we must be pro-actively prepared to analyse the image at hand. However, the image can be manipulated with good intentions, or with the reasons of good story-telling.
