Modern Photography - I Took Some Chess Pictures!

How I enjoyed A Chess Tournament Without Playing

Today, I Had a little chat with the photographer that took the amazing shots in the u-20 tournament. I asked him how long he has been taking chess pictures and he replied "A very long time"

I had lived with a photographer while growing up. She usually specialises in taking ceremonial pictures and in her small shop she took passport photographs. I learned one or two from her, I later ended up taking a few photos in her absence.

Now, I think everything is different because these days it doesn't matter if you haven't handled a camera before. With good edits, you can produce a picture with high quality.

For example,

The pictures below were taken by me but were edited by Daps

This is the image of my friend who is 18 years old, he didn't do badly in the tournament, he had 4 out of 8 points. He loves the Rubik's cube and averages 1 minute and 30 seconds in solving it. He is playful and very friendly.

Here is the no 5 female on the chess rankings in Nigeria! She is a student of Unilag. She plays a similar chess to mine, however, she is too careful and always ending up drawing games.

Here are some pictures Daps took me.

Tell me what do you think about Modern day photography? Do you need to be an Expert to take good photos?
