What is light and shadow in photography? What is a silhouette?

Light and shadow: the shadow formed by sunlight; Silhouette: Shadow images with obvious shapes and no tonal details are called silhouettes. Generally speaking, it is a dark theme on a bright background.

The word photography comes from the Greek word φ? Phos (light) and γ ρ α φ ι graphics (painting, painting) or γ ρ α φ? Graphê together means "painting with light". Photography refers to the process of recording images with some special equipment. Generally, we take photos with mechanical cameras or digital cameras. Sometimes photography is also called photography, that is, the process of exposing the photosensitive medium by using the light reflected by the object. Someone once said an incisive language: the photographer's ability is to transform the fleeting ordinary things in daily life into immortal visual images.
