Photography

Photography is the art and process of capturing images using a camera. It involves the use of light to create durable visual representations of subjects, ranging from still life to landscapes, portraits, and events. The term originates from the Greek words “photos,” meaning light, and “graphé,” meaning drawing or writing, thus translating to “drawing with light.”

Photography can be categorized into various genres, including but not limited to portrait photography, landscape photography, documentary photography, and fashion photography. It can be both a creative and technical field, involving aspects such as composition, exposure, lighting, and camera settings.

Modern photography encompasses both film and digital techniques, allowing for a wide range of expressions and styles. The advent of digital technology has transformed photography, making it more accessible and allowing for immediate feedback and editing. Photography serves as a powerful means of communication, storytelling, and artistic expression, enabling individuals to convey emotions, ideas, and narratives through visual imagery.
