Photography Essay
The idea of colours floating across a sheet of paper forming either

familiar shapes or new creations is appealing to the eye. In reality,
though it is much more than just the beads of colour. Photography
can capture someone’s heart and soul. Even the simplest photo
has a story that tails along with it. It is an escape from the real
world; a creation that narrows on one particular subject and
carefully details their every move and emotion.
Photography was invented, about a century ago. In those early

days, only simple box-cameras were available to take simple
black and white pictures. Photographic techniques and
equipments have come a long way since then. Exploding flash
guns have progressed to compact electronic flash unit, box-
cameras to sophisticated computerised reflex cameras, stills to
movies, black-and-white to full glorious colours and part-time
dabblers to highly paid professionals.
On a summer day in 1827, Joseph Nicephore Niepce made the

first Photographic image with a camera obscura. Prior to Niepce
people just used the camera obscura for viewing or drawing
purposes not for making photographs. Joseph Nicephore
Niepce’s heliographs or sun prints as they were called were the
prototype for the modern photograph, by letting light draw the
picture. In almost every sphere of human activity nowadays,
photography has now come to play a very significant role.
Photography as a hobby is perhaps the most popular of all its

uses. Cameras and films are now cheap and easy to use.

‘Instamatic’ cameras have largely eliminated the hit-or-miss

techniques of yesteryears.
The use of camera phones has made life so easy and

entertaining. It has a vast usage and is one of the best modern
age techniques so far. Anybody with a pair of eyes and hands can
take reasonably good pictures. We see amateur photographers all
over the place, especially in holiday resorts and recreational
areas.
Tourist and sightseers are never without cameras. Pictures and

snapshots of important events, wonderful times and places or
memories to be precise, are all recorded in photographs. They
are our link to the past.
Newspapers and magazines would never be what they are today

without photography. Photographs enliven these periodicals with
pictures of people and places. “A picture is worth a thousand
words”, so goes the old saying.
A well-clicked photograph is worth more than a thousand words. It

describes a scene infinitely better than meore words can
describe. Besides making newspapers and magazines attractive,
photography provides jobs to numerous professionals who roam
around the world in search of pictures.
‘Eyes work more than ears’ is a widespread fact. Use of

photographs helps people to retain better. Photographs/images
get quickly captured in our mind and stays in our memory for a
relatively longer time. That’s why it is also said that many people
have photographic memory wherein whatever they see gets
stored in their mind and helps in remembering things quicker and
in a better way. This proven fact has been rightly harnessed by

the educationist wherein they use more and more of pictures in

text books and while teaching.
Modern printing processes make extensive use of photographic

techniques. Off-set printing and photocopying are examples of
what photography is doing for us. Such is the versatility of
photography. All the books and magazines are now made by
photographic processes.
In another field of human activity that is medicine, photography is

extensively used. X-ray photography is now a common thing in
hospitals. They help doctors in the diagnosis of diseases. In
addition, X-rays can be used in treatment of certain diseases.
Nowadays, with the invention of fibre optics where light can be
directed through thin tubes, doctors can see and probe into the
insides of patients as never before. They can then photograph all
they see in full colour. Such techniques were
unheard of just a decade or so ago.
