Mathematics of Photography
Mathematics is just one of my passions. As well as teaching Mathematics, MultiMedia, and ICT as my “Day Job”, I also work as a Photographer on weekends.
Modern Digital Photography involves quite a bit of behind the scenes Mathematics.
This Mathematics includes Geometric Sequences, Polyhedrons, Fractions, Geometry, Circle Areas, Angles, Algebra Formulas, and Symmetry.
An understanding of this Mathematics can definitely make you a better Photographer, even if it just means you know the best Viewpoints, Angles, and Geometric Composition to use when taking pictures with a Mobile Phone.
I have found that understanding the Mathematics of a DSLR Camera really helps me do fast effective problem solving on Photoshoots.
Digital Cameras have preset auto modes which work well in about 80% of situations, but there are other times when a Camera needs to be put into full Manual Mode and some Mathematical Problem Solving invoked.
Here at Passy’s World we have produced a comprehensive series of articles on the Mathematics of Photography, including plenty of real life examples as well as selected Videos which can be viewed.

We recommend working through these articles in the order in which they appear in the Overview Below.
The eight Mathematics of Photography articles are as follows:
– Photo Composition Rules
– Digital Camera Variables
– The ISO Variable
– The Aperture Variable
– The Shutter Speed Variable
– The White Balance Variable
– Combining Variables for Correct Exposure
– Flash Photograpy and Diffusers
