A photographer is an artist who captures and creates images using a camera. Photography is both a science and an art, requiring technical skill and artistic vision. Photographers use their knowledge of light, composition, and perspective to create images that convey emotions, tell stories, or simply capture moments in time. They may work in a variety of settings, such as studios, events, nature, or commercial environments.

Photographers use a range of equipment and techniques to create their images. They may use traditional film cameras or modern digital cameras, as well as a variety of lenses and lighting equipment.
