What two Greek words are the origins of term "photography"? what makes them fitting for this media-based art form?

Sagot :

The word “photography” comes from the two Greek words photos, which means light, and graphein, which means to draw. So if we put them together, it will literally mean “to draw with light”. A photograph is produced by some sort of chemical reaction between certain chemicals and light. The result would be a picture that is drawn on to a flat surface which is a photo or picture. So if we look at the literal meaning, we can say that taking a picture is actually drawing something on a flat surface with light. 
photography is an art because like others , it has expressions. and maybe because of the use of technology , people get mistaken about considering photography is an art. Photography comes from the image that is made . it is not taken
