Can photography be taught by myself?

Photography can be taught by yourself, and it depends on books on photography. It is best to start with the history of photography, mainly the use of machines and the common sense of composition and framing. What you need to learn later is the use of light and effects, as well as personal understanding.

The word photography comes from the Greek word Φ φφ_ _ phos (light) and ραφχgraphics (painting and sketch) or ραφ_ graphφ, which together mean "painting with light". Photography refers to the process of recording images with some special equipment. Generally, we take photos with mechanical cameras or digital cameras. Sometimes photography is also called photography, that is, the process of exposing the photosensitive medium by using the light reflected by the object. Someone once said an incisive language: the photographer's ability is to transform the fleeting ordinary things in daily life into immortal visual images.
