Photography is so much more than just snapping simple photos; it's an art form that conveys emotions, narratives and perspectives captured in time.

Photography itself encompasses a variety of techniques and equipment, with the objective of creating beautiful and compelling images. As a photographer, you'll need to know about different types of cameras and how they work; how light interacts with subjects in your photographs, and how to arrange elements in your frame to make them visually appealing.

Being a good photographer is more than just mastering the technical skills and aspects - it's also about developing a creative eye, which takes both persistence and practice!

Whether you're just starting out or are already a skilled professional, this quiz is designed to test and expand your knowledge about photography.
