Community Values in Photography
Photography is built on a set of shared values that guide the community.
- Creativity
- Creativity is at the core, as every photographer develops their own style and visual voice.
- Storytelling
- Storytelling allows photographers to capture emotion, meaning, and perspective through a single image.
- Technical Skill
- Technical Skill is essential for controlling light, composition, and camera settings, and photographers spend years mastering these tools.
- Patience
- Patience is a major value, especially in nature, wildlife, and street photography, where the perfect moment can take time to appear.
- Collaboration and Feedback
- Collaboration and Feedback strengthen the community; photographers constantly share tips, critique each other's work, and learn from different styles. These values shape how photographers grow and support each other.
