Photography is the science, art and
practice of creating durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by
means of light-sensitive material such as photographic film. Typically, a
lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real
image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure.
With an electronic image sensor, this produces an electrical charge at each
pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for
subsequent display or processing. The result with photographic emulsion is an
invisible latent image, which is later chemically developed into a visible
image, either negative or positive depending on the purpose of the photographic
material and the method of processing. A negative image on film is
traditionally used to photographically create a positive image on a paper base,
known as a print, either by using an enlarger or by contact printing.
Photography is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing and business,
as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production,
recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication.
