Photography
Definition: Photography is the practice of capturing images using light-sensitive surfaces (film or digital sensors). In fine art, it serves both as a documentary tool and as a standalone medium for conceptual, portrait, landscape, or experimental work.
Movements such as Pictorialism, Modernist photography, and New Topographics reshaped how photography was seen in the 20th century. Contemporary photographers explore identity, politics, and digital aesthetics through staged, candid, and manipulated images.
