Photography
Photography is the art and science of capturing images using light, typically through a camera. It involves the process of recording light or other forms of radiation on a light-sensitive medium, such as film or a digital sensor, to create a visual representation of a scene. The practice encompasses various techniques and styles, ranging from portrait and landscape photography to documentary and fine art photography.
The core components of photography include the manipulation of exposure, composition, and lighting to produce aesthetically pleasing or meaningful images. Photographers often use different equipment, settings, and post-processing software to enhance their work and express their artistic vision. Overall, photography serves both practical purposes, such as documentation and communication, and artistic ones, allowing for personal expression and storytelling through visual means.
