What's the name of taking pictures?

Photography is also called photography, photography.

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.

Before photography technology was introduced into China, people used traditional portrait methods to describe their faces through shops such as "video shops". At that time, the painter was called "Xiao Zhao" and the deceased was painted as "image". After photography was introduced into China, people linked these two words together and called them "photography".
