The word "photography" comes from two Greek words—"photos" and "graph". When these two Greek words come together, they mean drawing with light.
A good photographer is a little bit like an artist (艺术家) or a writer. He or she uses photos to paint a picture or tell a story.
Like all good artists, a photographer has to make a visual(视觉的)picture that makes people feel something. If you look at a photo and feel happy or sad or if it makes you excited or even angry, then the photographer has done a good job.
And like all good writers, a photographer needs to tell a story with his or her photos. A good photo should make you think and ask questions like "What are they doing?" or "Where was that photo taken?" or "Who is that person?"
With a camera on or a smartphone out there now, it's easier than ever to learn to be a good photographer.
