What is Photography?


Well to begin with the word photography comes from two ancient Greek words; photos, for "light" and graph for "drawing". "Drawing and Light" is a way of describing photography. when a photograph is made, light or some other form of radiant energy, such as X rays, is used to record a picture of an object or scene on a light-sensitive surface.

photography is based on one important thing: Vision, call it vision, imagination, or seeing. it all comes down to the same thing , the ability to think about what you want to create in your minds eyes and then to make it with the tools at hand- in other wards if there is something in specific that you want to create just go for it, experiment and find your perfect piece.

Its always been about seeing something, knowing how you want it to look and making it so...."making it so" is the easy part, seeing it in the first place is what makes you a photographer.
photography always requires light to duplicate the real-life image being taken. it enlists the use of a camera to capture the image needed to produce the recreation of the image onto photographic film.


"Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past"- Berenice Abbott.
