« Back to Glossary Index
Photography is the art, science, and practice of capturing and creating images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically using a digital sensor or chemically using a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. It involves the use of a camera to frame and expose a subject, often with considerations of composition, lighting, and timing, to produce a visual representation of a moment, scene, or concept. Photography serves various purposes, including artistic expression, documentation, communication, and commercial use.
