Along with aperture and ISO, shutter speed is one of the three fundamental parameters that determine the exposure of a photo and that give you creative control over the look of an image. If you are new to photography, this helpful video will show you the ins and outs of how shutter speed works and how it affects the style of your photos.
Coming to you from Taylor Jackson, this great video will show you how shutter speed controls the exposure and look of your images as part of the exposure triangle (if you would like to read more about the exposure triangle, check out this article). Shutter speed controls how long your camera's sensor is exposed to light and along with aperture, determines the total amount of light it gathers for an image. Like the other exposure parameters, it has a technical/creative tradeoff: a faster shutter speed freezes more motion but allows less light to reach the sensor and vice versa. Mastering it is one of the most crucial skills any photographer should have. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
