The etymology of the term photography comes from the Greek <em>ph\u00f4s<\/em> meaning &#8220;light&#8221; and <em>graph\u00e8<\/em> meaning &#8220;drawing, writing&#8221;. <mark style=\"background-color:#A4A4A4\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Photography is essentially the art of capturing and fixing the image of a subject using light, which, by illuminating it, allows capturing its form and details on film or a digital sensor.<\/mark> Therefore, photographing is like &#8220;writing with light&#8221;. Photographers \u2013 aware of how any variation in the quality and direction of light can completely change the perception of a scene \u2013 use this element to evoke emotions, tell stories, and convey atmospheres.
