Photography

Photography is the whole world full of adventures, interesting events, stories, games of colors and light. As one of the most interesting and exciting forms of art, it appeared a long time ago, and to this time has been greatly influencing the human life. In the 19th century, for example, the adherents of positivism believed that photography is a science that allows to record reality. Photography, both art and science, has constantly been improved by different artists, inventors, scientists, and engineers.

We are all accustomed to believe by taking pictures we capture the best moments of our life, and photographs help to recall the events of the past. However, there is much more to tell. A photographer is a painter who depicts his life on a canvas by conveying certain emotions or experiences, and who describes reality the way he or she sees it or wants it to be. So, we cannot always be sure whether a photograph reflects reality with the highest accuracy or vice versa, hides it. Let’s consider a number of current arguments and facts about photography, and find out what it really is.
