Photography has evolved from a purely technical process of recording visible images through light action on light-sensitive materials to an artistic medium and powerful means of communication. As an art form, photography involves discerning a significant moment or unique expression and framing it through composition in the camera viewfinder. The document highlights two noteworthy Philippine photographers, George Tapan and John K. Chua, and their award-winning work showcasing Philippine landscapes and travel photography. Students are assigned a demonstration activity using their mobile phones to take photographs according to their own theme and present their creative output to the class.

6. Photography
Photography in its early stages during the late 19th century, photography was viewed as a purely technical process, that of recording
visible images by light action on light-sensitive materials. In fact, its very name—from the Greek “photos” (meaning light) and
“graphos” (meaning writing)—states this process literally.

7. The Photographer as Artist
Focusing a camera at a subject and clicking the shutter is
photography as process. Discerning a significant moment or a
unique expression, framing it in the camera viewfinder with an
eye for composition, and then clicking the shutter is
photography as art.

8. Photography as
Communication

9. Being a modern art form means that
photography is now viewed as being
more than just beautiful. It is also
considered one of the most powerful
means of communication.
