What does DP mean?

Director of photography? The abbreviation of "director of photography" refers to the director of photography. Only when the photography team is full, DP is more appropriate.

The process of exposing a photosensitive medium to light emitted or reflected by an object. Using visible light to take pictures, cameras are the most commonly used. Because of different scenes and uses, cameras have many classifications.

A camera must have several basic components to ensure the exposure process, including: photosensitive medium, imaging lens, exposure time control mechanism, film cassette, storage medium, electronic photoreceptor and electronic storage medium.

Extended data

Still life photography, as opposed to figure photography and landscape photography, takes pictures of inanimate objects (this concept of inanimate objects is relative, such as fish and shrimp caught from the sea, melons and fruits picked, etc. ) and man-made objects that can move or combine freely as performance objects. Mostly take industrial or handmade products, natural inanimate objects and so on as the shooting theme.

On the basis of truly reflecting the inherent characteristics of the subject, the subject is represented as a photographic work with artistic beauty through creative ideas and photography means such as composition, light, tone and color.
