Photography, explained.

Friendly definitions for the words we use. Search to find one fast.

Aperture

The opening in a lens that controls how much light enters — and how blurred the background looks. Lower f-numbers mean more blur.

Bokeh

The soft, dreamy out-of-focus areas of a photo, often seen as gentle glowing circles behind the subject.

Golden hour

The hour after sunrise and before sunset, when light is warm, soft and most flattering.

Blue hour

The short window after sunset when the sky turns deep blue — lovely for moody, cinematic frames.

Candid

An unposed, natural moment captured as it happens — our favourite kind of photograph.

Exposure

How bright or dark an image is, balanced through aperture, shutter speed and ISO.

Composition

How elements are arranged in the frame to guide the eye and create feeling.

Retouching

Careful, hand-finished editing — colour, skin and detail — done individually per image.

RAW

An unprocessed image file that holds maximum detail, giving us full control while editing.

Depth of field

How much of the photo is in sharp focus, from a thin sliver to front-to-back clarity.
