Also, how would you go about learning how to take pictures? I am the worst photographer ever.

I think a good way is to start with a camera that’s fun to shoot with - nothing too serious. Got a Fujifilm XT50 camera and the film recipes help have fun while learning.

Recipes are specific to Fuji cameras. Think of them as filters/edits that can be configured directly on the camera. That way you can take ready-to-use images straight out of camera.
