What is photography?
“Photography is a medium – a vehicle for communicating facts or fictions, and for expressing ideas. It requires craftsmanship and artistic ability in varying proportions.” (Langford M, 1977)
For our context of the study of photography the transmission of ideas is particularly relevant. Concepts in the form of images, that ignite, inspire and move people are what drive photographers to make images, on the whole.
