Photography (pronounced /fәˈtɒɡrәfi/) is the process, activity and art of creating still or moving pictures by recording radiation on a sensitive medium, such as a photographic film, or an electronic sensor. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects activate a sensitive chemical or electronic sensor during a timed exposure, usually through a photographic lens in a device known as a camera that also stores the resulting information chemically or electronically. Photography has many uses for business, science, art and pleasure.

Lens and mounting of a large-format camera. A historic camera: the Contax S of 1949 — the first pentaprism SLR. Nikon F of 1959 — the first 35mm film system camera.

The word "photograph" was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and is based on the Greek φῶς (phos) "light" and γραφή (graphê) "representation by means of lines" or "drawing", together meaning "drawing with light". Traditionally, the products of photography have been called negatives and photographs, commonly shortened to photos.

What are good photography summer camps for high school students?
Q. My daughter would love to go to a photography camp this summer. Does anybody have any suggestions? She can take beautiful pictures with our Nikon D60, but has never had any formal training.

A. It really depends on where you love. In Los Angeles, there's this school called FIDM. It's mainly a school for fashion, but they have other subjects like Photography, music, interior decorating ect. They offer summer programs for high school kids; although, they are very expensive. Scholarships are given to students who demonstrate AMAZING skills. :]

How to copyright photography to sell on ebay?
Q. I absolutely love to take nature photography. I feel like my work is good enough to sell, and I would like to give it a try on ebay. I don't want anyone to steal my images from there though so I am wondering what the best way is to copyright my material. I've seen people put a word over the image so people won't want to try to take the image off the site to use as their own. Also, If someone does buy one of my pics, how do I copyright the actual photograph?

A. Recently, the government has come to the conclusion that if you have the original negative, the image is yours. Brilliant right? But you should embed a digital watermark using photoshop, or paintshop if you're going to sell them online. The poorman's copyright isn't a bad idea either. The whole thing with the legal paperwork is that it entitles you, without any court proceedings, to any royalties if someone reproduces your image for their use.

Photography is...

  • "an austere and blazing poetry of the real" -- Ansel Adams
  • "the recording of strangeness and beauty with beguiling precision" -- Sebastian Smee
  • "a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality" -- Alfred Stieglitz
  • "the dominant and fascinating and only folk art of the twentieth century" -- Sir John Rotherstein
  • "(a means by which we)...learn to see the ordinary" -- David Bailey
  • "a contest between a photographer and the presumptions of approximate and habitual seeing. The contest can be held anywhere ..." -- John Szarkowski
  • "my meditation" -- Czar Anthony Lopez
  • "a strong tool, a propaganda device, and a weapon for the defense of the environment...and therefore for the fostering of a healthy human race and even very likely for its survival." -- Eliot Porter
  • "the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression." -- Henri Cartier-Bresson

A camera...

  • "is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera" -- Dorothea Lange
  • "has interesting ideas of its own" -- John Szarkowski.

A photograph is...

  • "The basic material of photographs is not intrinsically beautiful. It's not like ivory or tapestry or bronze or oil on canvas. You're not supposed to look at the thing, you’re supposed to look through it. It's a window." -- John Szarkowski.

On creativity

  • “There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs." -- Ansel Adams
  • “My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, or the camera's eye may entirely change my idea.” -- Edward Weston
  • “Be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence.” -- Minor White
