In photography, we are working with light which can be manipulated in various ways using various techniques and elements. When looking at how light behaves during this process, before and after passing through through the lens, we are able to capture some very interesting photographs. There are various ways in which you can modify or manipulate the properties of light or even use the camera lens creatively for photography and capture unique shots. Here are some tutorials that will help you get started with creative photography.

A lot of photographers are more interested in creating real effects in camera, rather than manipulating images for those effects when post-processing.
