" Photography is the process of recording pictures by means of capturing light on a light-sensitive medium, such as a film or electronic sensor. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects expose a sensitive silver halide based chemical or electronic medium during a timed exposure, usually through a photographic lens in a device known as a camera that also stores the resulting information chemically or electronically. Photography has many uses for both business and pleasure. It is often the basis of advertising and in fashion print. Photography can also be viewed as a commercial and artistic endeavor.
The word "photography" comes from the French photographie which is based on the Greek words φως phos ("light"), and γραφίς graphis ("stylus", "paintbrush") or γραφή graphê ("representation by means of lines" or "drawing"), together meaning "drawing with light." Traditionally, the product of photography has been called a photograph, commonly shortened to photo. "
" Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment. " - Ansel Adams, Photographing Nature: LIFE Library of Photography by Time-Life (Editor).
" Simply look with perceptive eyes at the world about you, and trust to your own reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream? Can I visualize a print - my own personal statement of what I feel and want to convey - from the subject before me? " - Ansel Adams, The Best of Popular Photography by Harvey V. Fondiller, ISBN: 0871650371, Page: 280.
" Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field. " - Peter Adams - Adams Sydney, 1987.
" No place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film. " - Robert Adams, Darkroom & Creative Camera Techniques, Page: 37.
" What is right? Simply put, it is any assignment in which the photographer has a significant spiritual stake...spiritually driven work constitutes the core of a photographer's contribution to culture. " - William Albert Allard - on the right photo assignment. Photographic Essay (American Photographer Master Series) by William Albert Allard.
" I find the blend of technique and creativity fascinating, sometimes frustrating, other times rewarding but always very therapeutic. " - Thomas Folke Andersen.
" Good photographs are seen in the mind's eye before the shutter is tripped, but they are made in the darkroom. For it is the final stage of photography - in the production of negative and print - that the creative vision is realized in a picture meant to be looked at, admired, perhaps honoured. " - Anonymous , The Print: The LIFE Library of Photography.
