Photography

Let me define what is photography in my own words.. It’s very self explanatory indeed. Photo-graphy, Photo = light (Derived from ‘Photon’ the particles of light, if we assume the particle nature of light to be true ) graphy= writing something, a work, an art, or a field of study. Having defined what is photography, let’s move into the subject and learn more on what is what on photography.

Photography constitutes three things:

1. The photographer (who photographs the subject).

2. The Medium/Tool used for photographing.

3. The Subject (What is being photographed).

Classical photography techniques revolved around the above 3 components of photography. Until recently the fourth element was introduced into the world of photography “Computer”, however I wouldn’t call it a forth element but a technology that changed the tools used by a photographer. This technology changed the life of every photographer and made everyone as photographer, I mean the simplification of the tools used for photography made even a layman to be able to point and shoot a photograph.

To begin with let’s consider two factors/elements as constants (The medium/tool and the subject) then the only element that plays a important role in determining the what is being photographed is the photographer.
