Photography is the science, art, application and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, 

either electronically by means of an image sensor, or

 chemically by means of a

 light-sensitive material such as photographic film. ... Photography is the result of combining several technical discoveries.

Photographers tell stories through images they capture through their cameras. They express their personalities and viewpoints through their art. There are a variety of photography niches that photographers can showcase their artistic ability with, such as fashion, studio work, travel, journalism, or nature.
