It is a two-dimensional representation of people, events,
Objects or any three-dimensional form. Photography (derived from
the Greek photos- for "light" and -graphos for "drawing") is the
art, science, and practice of creating durable images by recording
light or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by
means of a light- sensitive material such as photographic film, or
electronically by means of an image sensor.
Earliest known surviving heliographic engraving, 1825, printed
from a metal plate made by Joseph Nicphore Nipce with his
"heliographic process".[7] The plate was exposed under an ordinary
engraving and copied it by photographic means. This was a step
towards the first permanent photograph from nature taken with a
camera obscura, in 1826.
Early color photograph taken by Prokudin- Gorskii (1915).

Is creative production of images using the camera, special
lightings and other effects for artistic expression.
SUBJECT- The main focus of your photograph. This is what you
want the viewers want to see first when they see the image.
FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND What is in front of your subject is
the foreground. What is behind your subject is your background.
Both of foreground and background should enhance the beauty of the
main subject.
RULE OF THIRDS The subject should be located either above of
below the center of the frame because the viewers eyes are
naturally drawn to the spaces within the frame and not to its
center.
LIGHTINGS Photographs without lighting are dull because one of
the basic ingredient in photography is light. avoid strong direct
light on your subject. Make sure that background lighting is not
stronger than the subject
LIGHTING ELEMENTS: ISO - if the setting has an abundant light,
lower down ISO. If in a dark place, set the ISO to max or set it on
auto. **Note: the higher the ISO the more grains will appear on the
photograph. Shutter Speed- If you dont want traces of light
movements on your photos make sure to set your shutter speed high.
Always take note of how much light your subject has. Aperture-
controls the amount of light your camera receives. It also controls
the sharpness of the photo. The smaller the opening, the sharper
your photo will be White Balance- Always make sure that the WB
corresponds with the dominant light source in the area.
