English – Finnish Photography Vocabulary

accessories, analog, basics, camera, camera formats, camera types, chemicals, darkroom, dictionary, digital, digital photography, english, equipment, film, film photography, finnish, language, learning, lens, lenses, lexicon, light modifiers, lighting, parts, photography, processing, term, terms, translate, traveling, vocabulary, word, wordbook, words 0

Last five years I have been living abroad and last four of them in United States. I just moved back to my home country Finland and am looking for a job related to photography. Since I went to college to study photography in United States, I learned all the photography related words and terms in English. I already knew some basic vocabulary in Finnish of course. Since I need to learn the occupational vocabulary in my native language as well, I decided to make a list of some photography related words. If you are interested in photography and to learn Finnish or English, I hope this will help you too! I will be adding more words and term in the future.
