Show transcript
Photography is the process of capturing an image using a camera. This process produces a photograph, a picture of whatever the camera was pointed at. Photography is quite a recent invention, and has only been used for about 200 years. Photographs are interesting to historians because they have captured ways of life that have now disappeared.
