Photography as a Hobby

Hobby_ Andreas Gursky, Los Angeles

Photography is a hobby.

Hobby of photography can be very fun, and when we are professionals, we can get a lot of money on the hobby of photography.

Etymology :

The word "photograph" was invented by John Herschel and comes from two Greek roots:
"Photo" - which proceeds from the light, that uses light.
"Graphy" - who writes, resulting in images.

Literally "painting with light." The shorter term "photo" is frequentlyused. In case we speak of a photographic image, it is also oftenused the terms "image" or "view", and, but less since the advent of a digital photography, "drawing" or "expansion ".

The person who is using several photographic technique in the a shooting phaseis, they called a photographer. There are so many jobs that are related to the shooting.
