The etymology of the word? The photograph? Has already? Light? And that means ‘written with light’. Not only in the name, but in the entire process of producing an image, light is needed. Light is also essential to create climates, volumes and textures in the image. Depending on the position and intensity of the light source, a certain effect will occur on the photo or footage.
