Photography

Photography is the art of taking and processing photographs. People now a days, use cameras in which they have special lenses used to focus the light reflected from the object into a real image.

Photography has many uses for business, science, manufacturing, art, recreational purposes and mass communication.

The first camera that was created was in the 1820's with the development of chemical photography and it was in black and white. And it looked like a box with a small lens. There, scientists and artists showed interest for photography.

During the 20th century, both fine art photography and documentary photography became accepted by the English-speaking art world and the gallery system. In the United States, a handful of photographers, including Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, John Szarkowski, F. Holland Day, and Edward Weston, spent their lives advocating for photography as a fine art. At first, fine art photographers tried to imitate painting styles.
