Photography is a method for producing lasting images by means of a chemical reaction that occurs when light hits a specially prepared surface. It was invented during the first decades of the 19th century as a direct consequence of advances in chemistry and optics (the science of the behavior of light). The word Photography comes from two Greek words that mean "writing with light".
