With this in mind, it is imperative that catalogue photography presents the product in a way that makes it appealing to its intended audience. Catalogue photography can include food, fashion or everyday products such as groceries and books.

When it comes to capturing good action shots – whether a teen’s latest skateboard maneuver or Fido’s latest antic – one of the most important digital photography basics to consider is shutter lag. More accurately called “processor lag,” this is the time that passes between the moment you press the shutter release button to the moment the camera actually gets the shot and you see that green light.
