Photography originated with the greek word phos (light) and graphis (drawing), which means painting with light. By capturing light on photo-sensitive materials, photography quickly became the popular medium for capturing images.

Today, photography is more than ever the combination of science and art. To achieve the best images, a photographer must understand the technical aspects of digital photography, as well as understand what makes one image better than another.
