What kind of photos
do you want to take?
Choose a genre and get directed to matching techniques and gear recommendations.
Ever wondered...
"Do I have to pick a genre? Can't I just shoot everything?"
Of course you can shoot everything. But picking one genre means you'll learn far more with the same gear. Six months of focused portrait shooting with one 85mm prime will grow your skills much faster than dabbling in every genre. You can always switch later — just pick one and start.
"Do I need a different camera for each genre?"
Camera bodies work for most genres. The main difference is lenses and accessories. Portraits need a prime (85mm), landscapes need wide-angle (16–24mm), macro needs a macro lens (100mm) — one extra lens opens up a whole new genre.
Portrait
Captures expression and emotion. Light and background blur make the subject stand out.
Landscape & Nature
Wide open nature and changing light. Golden hour and blue hour are key.
Street
PopularCapturing decisive moments in the city. Fast decisions and layered composition.
Food & Product
Delicious-looking food, appealing products. Styling and soft light are key.
Architecture
Lines, surfaces, and light flow in space. Vertical correction and wide angle are important.
Macro
Flowers, insects, water drops — the tiny world made large.
