PHOTOGRAPHY

From its origins as a form of documentation, in the first half of the 19th century, photography soon assumed a dual role both as a record of the moment and as art, timeless and resonant. Many professional photographers today work both commercially and for their own account. Common to all is a commitment to the craft, and a sure grasp of the tools at hand and their potential exploitation. Most photographers follow new developments and technology but are not reluctant to uses legacy technology in the expression of their craft. What counts is the final result, as with any art form.
