Tips for beginner photographers

photography has never been as simple and straightforward as it is today in the age of smartphones and smart filters. Yet the world of photography offers so much more than just a click on the screen. But operating conventional cameras is unintuitive and overly complicated for most people. We have produced a photography guide in cooperation with C&A – https://www.c-and-a.com/eu/en/shop/photography-for-beginners – that aims to provide all the important information about selecting and setting up your camera and composing and editing your photos for people who are considering going the classic camera route.
