Photography is the art of reproducing pictures of people,
objects or places in their exact likeness. These images can be
transferred on any photosensitive material. Photography includes
taking and printing pictures.
The backbone of photography is the camera, the instrument or
device that works on the principle of optics. The camera and
photographic techniques have undergone phenomenal changes since
the time the first camera was made. The earlier model did not
contain the film; instead, it had a small light-shield box with
lens and translucent screen on either side. The image that
traveled through the lens was stored on the screen. Known as
'camera obscura,' it was no more than a sketching device for

Modern photography has given a totally new meaning to the entire

public life. History became more authentic with pictures, and
photographs served as evidence in many cases. People made their
family tree in their albums. Suddenly life was so much more fun
and meaningful.
With the tremendous technological advances in the art of
photography, it is no more just fun and frolic but has acquired
the dimensions of a full-fledged profession. Photography has
many branches and types, such as:
- Aerial photography is the art of taking photographs from the
air.
- Art photography is devoted to beautiful pictures for the sake
of beauty only.
- Studio or advertising photography is dedicated to promotion
