OR
According to science –
Photography is the process of making pictures by means of the action of light. It involves recording light patterns, as reflected from objects, onto a sensitive medium through a timed exposure. The process is done with the help of digital devices commonly known as cameras.
Photography is the story I fail to put into words.

What is the purpose of photography?
>> The purpose of photography can vary on what the photographer is trying to capture or achieve. For example, media and news photographers capture images to provide all the details of events to the public, while nature photographers always have the aim to capture the beauty of nature which are covered by the beautiful sea, sky, trees, etc.
And also the purpose of photography can be explained by only the photographer according to there subject because every photo a photographer captures has a different purpose or meaning.
