fotografický

Fotografické is an adjectival form used in Czech and Slovak to denote something related to photography. It usually modifies nouns to indicate association with photography, equipment, techniques, or works, such as fotografické techniky, fotografické snímky, or fotografické materiály.

Etymology: The term derives from the noun fotograf and the related adjective fotografický, which itself comes from fotografie (photography). The broader linguistic heritage of photography traces back to Greek roots in photos (light) and graphein (to write or draw). The word reflects photography’s emergence as both a technical practice and an artistic field.

Usage: The word is widespread in journalism, art, science, and education, where it describes equipment (fotografické pomůcky), methods (fotografické postupy), or works (fotografické zobrazení). In everyday language it appears in phrases such as fotografické techniky, fotografické obrazy, or fotografické studio.

In Czech and Slovak, fotografické is used across gender and number variations to agree with nouns. It is related to broader forms like fotografický (masculine), fotografická (feminine), and fotografie (the nounform for photography), but functions primarily as an adjective describing photographic subjects or materials.
