Episode 2: Introduction to The Recipe

[00:00:00] Welcome to the Richard J Nieves Photography podcast, where we're sharing knowledge, experience and skills with photographers just beginning their journey. I'm Rich, a published photographer and filmmaker. I've been practicing photography for more than a decade. And servicing clients quality, professional photography services for two years.

Now it's my time to service you listeners. Let's get started.

[00:01:00] Listen, I love food. I had dreams of being a chef before I became a photographer. I love the way it binds people together, all because of one specific goal: to experience the end product of a creator. That creator being the chef or cook, and the end product being a delicious meal. Photography isn't all that different in that regard, a picture taken by a photographer with heart and soul can bring people together to experience the combined memory and feeling in a photo.

Now like with any meal, a photo is made with multiple ingredients. Three of the most important ingredients are combined into a set called the exposure triangle. That exposure triangle consists of the aperture, the shutter and the ISO values. Put simply, the aperture allows you to control the depth of field.

[00:02:00] This value controls how blurry the background and foreground are around your subject. The shutter is a little literal wall in front of the cameras sensors that goes up and down at a specific time set by you. This value allows you to photograph fast moving objects sharply. The ISO allows you to change how sensitive your sensor is to light.

This value allows you to use your camera in dark places where light is scarce. All these settings allow you to tell a story in your own creative way. I'm really simplifying things here for you so you can get a grasp of these important settings, but. There's so much more to learn from them. That's why I'll go more in depth in future episodes and on my website at www.richardandphoto.com/blog. Links will be in the show notes.

Okay. Everyone show's over. Thank you so much for listening. It really means a lot for you to give me this moment of your day. Please take the time to create, inspire and learn every moment you can. Catch you later.
