8 Reasons Why You Should Learn Photography

So you're interested in starting to learn photography –  congratulations! Photography is a fascinating, practical hobby as well as an exciting career choice. Learning photography takes a little bit of patience but in the end it's all worth it. Let's start with the reasons why you should learn photography:

1. The chance to capture special events like a special birthday or the family vacation with clear, well composed pictures.


2. Never missing another "Kodak moment" while looking for the correct button or dial to push on your camera.


3. Taking beautiful photographs that you and your loved ones proudly frame and display.


4. Communicating through the use of images. A picture is truly worth a thousand words! You can catch a look that says it all. Or as we've seen in countless magazines like Time and National Geographic, you can take pictures that educate and enlighten on just about any topic. You don't have to be a professional photographer in order to take some great pictures.


5. The ability to take a portrait in a home or outdoor setting that lets you capture the beauty of a loved one and make them want to see the portrait framed on a wall instead of sitting on the bottom of a box.


6. Excitement! With a good telephoto lens you can, from a safe distance, capture exciting shots of wildlife and weather phenomena. Imagine your friends reactions when they see these amazing photos you took framed on your walls.


7. Fun! It's fun to take photographs of people, places and things we love. It's even more fun to take pictures after learning just a few skills!


8. Fame and Fortune! Many a hobbyist photographer has gone on to win ribbons, awards and make money by selling their prints online with or without frames. Others photographers sell downloads at photo sites like iStock. Some take pet portraits of their neighbors' pets, and eventually start a business from there. Others become wedding photographers or get jobs working as commercial or portrait photographers.

You may have even thought of some benefits that weren't listed here. As mentioned the rewards of taking pictures are numerous. To get started taking pictures, all you need is a good (not expensive) camera and a few basic skills and you'll be well on your way.
