A photograph (often shortened to photo) is an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface. The word “photograph” coined 1839 by Sir John Herschel. Photographs are produced with a two-step chemical process In the two-step process the light-sensitive film captures a negative image (colors and lights/darks are inverted). To produce a positive image, the negative is most commonly transferred (printed) onto photographic paper. Originally, all photographs were monochromatic, or hand-painted in color. Although methods for developing colour photos were available as early as 1861, they did not become widely available until the 1940s or 50s. Even in the 1960s most photographs were taken in black and white. Since then, colour photos have dominated popular photography, although black and white is still used, being easier to develop than colour.

Digital photography is easy to use, has storage that is convenient with a high capacity and has media portability.
