Photography

Photography is the art and practice of capturing images through the use of a camera. It involves the process of recording light or other forms of radiant energy to create permanent visual representations of scenes, objects, or moments. Photography can be both a means of artistic expression and a tool for documentation.

Professional and amateur photographers use various techniques, equipment, and styles, such as digital or film cameras, differing focal lengths, lighting conditions, and composition strategies to enhance the aesthetic quality of their images. The images produced can vary in purpose, serving as portraits, landscapes, editorial content, or fine art, among others.

The term “photography” comes from the Greek words “photos,” meaning light, and “grapho,” meaning to draw or write, thus translating to “drawing with light.” It encompasses various genres and applications, including portraiture, landscape, documentary, and commercial photography, making it a versatile medium for storytelling and expression.
