The 4 Divisions of Photography

Photography can sometimes appear to be a huge complex mixture of lenses, composition, post production, printing and  even how to sell your work. But to learn any subject it’s best to break it into its part or divisions and learn one at a time, in a continuing cycle. The good news is that each new part learned helps you to advance to the next in an upward orderly path, learning how to take photographs that you love.

I’ve invited you to rate yourself in each of the 4 “stages” (or better defined as divisions) of photography. This is a handy way to take your pulse in each of the 4 main Divisions of photography and know where you need to dive in next to advance your photography.

You’re about to see a new design of our site with some cool features like easier access to blog posts & videos and our new social network addition for our AYP club. Members can easily  stay in touch, share their photos and learn from other members–and yes, it’s all free. But if you’d like, we can use your help to create our AYP Wiki to organize our wealth of knowledge that we’ve been accumulating from the scores of pros we’ve interviewed over the years.

This is our next step to creating our photography school that you’ve heard me talking about.

We’ll be helping you to advance your photography step by step through each of the 4 divisions, all in the direction of  how to take photographs that you love.
