Color photography is a technique that captures images in a way that represents the colors of the scene as they appear to the human eye. This process involves using various methods, such as film or digital sensors, to record light in different wavelengths, which correspond to different colors. The first successful color photographs were created in the late 19th century, using processes like Autochrome and Kodachrome. Today, most color photography is done digitally, allowing for greater flexibility and control over the final image. Color photography is widely used in various fields, including journalism, advertising, and art.
