Photography [f?'t?gr?fi:],[fo?'t?gr?fi:] is the process of recording pictures by means of capturing light on a light-sensitive medium, such as a film or electronic sensor. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects expose a sensitive silver halide based chemical or electronic medium during a timed exposure, usually through a photographic lens in a device known as a camera that also stores the resulting information chemically or electronically.

The word "photography" comes from the French photographie which is based on the Greek words f?? phos ("light"), and ??af?? graphis ("stylus", "paintbrush") or ??af? graph? ("representation by means of lines" or "drawing"), together meaning "drawing with light." Traditionally, the product of photography has been called a photograph, commonly shortened to photo.
