Photography

Photography is an artform that gives people the visual experience of places and objects they may otherwise never see. In the simplest sense, photography is the act of capturing a moment of the visual world. It requires a camera, which captures light and focuses it through a lens, and stores the image. From the first simple black and white pinhole cameras, we now have highly sophisticated cameras that allow us to capture underwater images, as well as tiny creatures in exquisite detail.
