Photography
Photography is the science, art and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation.
Today this is done either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.
The film is a strip or sheet of transparent plastic film base coated on one side with a gelatin emulsion containing microscopically small light-sensitive silver halide crystals.
