Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating images by
recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or
chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic
film. It is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing, and
business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video
production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication. A
person who makes photographs is called a photographer.
