What does photography mean?

Photography is a process in which a subject forms an image on a photosensitive film through a lens, or exposes a photosensitive medium through light emitted or reflected by an object. Photography in a broad sense includes photography, film photography and television photography. Photography is actually a way to record life.

To put it simply, the function of photography is to record history and freeze it in an instant. Photography will make our life better. Through different lenses, we can appreciate the beauty of the micro-world and the wide-angle world, and record the scenery, current events, relatives and life.

The charm of photography lies in its truth, in its moment, and in all the scenes, landscapes and portraits we shoot. It's all true and credible, not anime fiction.

Photography should be something we use to enjoy life. We use photography to enhance our artistic consciousness, keep our feelings about life, record our feelings with its materialization, materialize the abstract beauty in life and materialize the illusory memory.
