Fényképkészítés

Fényképkészítés, often translated as photography, is the art, application, and practice of creating durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. It is a powerful medium for visual communication and artistic expression.

The process of fényképkészítés involves capturing light reflected or emitted by objects onto a photosensitive surface. Historically, this was achieved using chemical processes on film. Modern photography predominantly utilizes digital sensors, which convert light into electronic data that can be stored and manipulated. Key elements in creating a photograph include composition, lighting, exposure, and focus.

The applications of fényképkészítés are vast and varied. It is used in journalism to document events, in science for research and observation, in art for creative expression, and in everyday life to preserve memories. Different genres of photography exist, such as portraiture, landscape, still life, and street photography, each with its own techniques and aesthetic considerations. The development of affordable and accessible photographic equipment has made fényképkészítés a widespread hobby and profession globally.
