A photograph is an image created by capturing light on a light-sensitive surface, such as film or a digital sensor. This process can be achieved using a camera, which focuses light to produce a visual representation of a scene, object, or person. Photographs can be taken in various styles, including portrait, landscape, and macro photography, each serving different artistic or documentary purposes. Photographs are widely used in many fields, including journalism, art, and personal documentation. They can evoke emotions, tell stories, and preserve memories. The invention of photography in the early 19th century, attributed to pioneers like Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and Louis Daguerre, revolutionized how people capture and share their experiences.
