Photography Techniques - INI

Photography techniques encompass a systematic approach to capturing high-quality images, centered around the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity), along with composition (rule of thirds, framing), white balance, and lighting. By combining these techniques, photographers can achieve their intended creative vision.
