Photography

What comes to mind when you hear the word "photography"? A snapshot with friends? A photo for documents? An advertisement in a magazine? Every day we encounter photography, sometimes even without noticing it. It has become so ingrained in our lives that today it is hard to imagine how we could have managed without it before. But how did it all begin? When was the first camera invented? How do old photos differ from today's digital ones? What is reportage photography and who is considered the founder of this genre? How are photography and X-ray connected? What does a camera consist of?

You will find answers to these and other questions in the pages of an exciting and colorful encyclopedia that will help you understand the art (or is it not quite?) of photography.
