Chapter 1: What Is Photography?

What Is Photography?

Photography means drawing with light.

  • A camera catches light
  • Light hits a sensor
  • The sensor saves an image

You press a button, and the camera freezes a moment in time.

Photography helps us:

  • Remember trips
  • Share stories
  • Show feelings

Key idea: No light = no photo.
