How to Start Learning Photography (With Sample Behind-The-Scenes Pictures from PIWF Institute)

Photography is not just about clicking a button; it’s about learning to observe light, angles, emotions, and storytelling through visuals. At PIWF Institute, we strongly believe in learning through practice and real-life assignments, as shown in these behind-the-scenes images from our student sessions. Here’s a guide for beginners on how to start learning photography:























Step 1: Understand the Basics of Photography
Before picking up a camera, learn the fundamentals:
- Exposure Triangle: ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture
- White Balance and Color Temperature
- Composition Rules: Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines, Framing
Step 2: Practice with Basic Equipment
You don’t need expensive gear to start. A basic DSLR or mirrorless camera, even a phone with manual controls, is enough to practice exposure and framing.
Step 3: Join Practical Workshops
Workshops like those at PIWF Institute give you exposure to real-life shoots, model interaction, and teamwork under mentor guidance.
See our sample pictures where students work with lighting, camera setups, and model posing during live classes.
Step 4: Learn from Observation
Observe how light behaves in natural and artificial settings. Understand shadows, highlights, and how to use reflectors, softboxes, or practical lights, as seen in our classroom BTS images.
Step 5: Build Confidence through Assignments
Start with small projects:
- Portraits of family and friends
- Nature walks for landscapes
- Street photography for storytelling
At PIWF Institute, students get regular assignments with hands-on guidance from industry mentors.
