Photography refers to the process of recording images with some special equipment. Generally, we take photos with mechanical cameras or digital cameras.

(2) Photography is sometimes called photography, that is, the process of exposing the photosensitive medium by the light emitted or 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.

(3) After shooting, the image information stored in the medium must be read by human eyes again through conversion. The specific method depends on the photosensitive means and medium characteristics. For film cameras, there will be chemical processes such as fixing, developing and enlarging. For digital cameras, pictures need to be processed by computers and then output by other electronic devices.
