Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating durable
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 (e.g.,
photolithography), and business, as well as its more direct uses for art,
film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass
communication.
