Vision. Craft. In your journey as a photographer you must pursue both. Without knowledge of the craft of photography your artistic vision will never be realized. Yet without vision you will ultimately produce images that will inspire neither yourself nor those who view your work. Photography 101 will help you pursue both, teaching you the fundamentals of photography and helping you chase your personal vision for your art.
