Photo is a very important invention of mankind, result of many scientists’ efforts from around the world. Currently photograph is widely used in various fields of human activity. It is also the language of visual information that securely serves humanity for centuries. Nowadays people can’t imagine books, newspapers and magazines without photographs.

The term "photography" has Greek roots and means "light painting" or "letter at the light." Wikipedia gives the term as follows: "Photo (fr. Photographie from ancient Greek Φως / φωτος - light and γραφω - writing, light painting - painting technique with light) - is receiving and saving an image using a light-sensitive material." Also it means painting technique with light - receiving and saving a still image. In a broader sense, photography is understood as art.

The art of photography is the art of producing photos where the main creative process consists in finding and choosing the composition, lighting, and catching the moment.

A few decades ago, photography was only a snapshot of memory, and is now a unique direction in contemporary art. Photography helps to revitalize and transform the current reality. For most people, the photographs are valuable documents showing the history of a lifetime. Photography is a fact of reality, but at the same moment it is a way to create the right impression on the viewer, who is looking at the photo.

The language of photographs can tell a story not about only one person but a whole family, and even about humanity. The photo shows us the world as it was in the moment when the picture was taken. And this captured world stays with us forever.

That's why photography is an important element in various projects, especially those that are most important to our world historical information. After all, without a visual representation of the territory, the object, it is impossible to get a complete picture of the events of which we want to tell and show. An element of the visualization in projects is especially important, when it has a historical focus. With the help of photos, we have the opportunity to show all the beauty of the world, historical artifacts, which people sometimes cannot even be aware of. Photographing areas, historic sites, traditions, national life is a significant factor in attracting stakeholders.

Фотография - очень важное изобретение человечества, результат труда многих ученых со всего мира. В настоящее время фотография широко применяется в различных сферах человеческой деятельности. Фотография - это еще и язык визуальной информации, который надежно служит человечеству на протяжении нескольких столетий. Мы уже не представляем себе книг, газет и журналов без фотографий. Прочное место заняли они и на стендах в выставочных залах и музеях.

Если вспомнить терминологию, то термин «фотография» имеет греческие корни, и обозначает «светопись» или же «письмо на свету». Портал Википедия трактует этот термин следующим образом: «Фотогра́фия (фр. photographie от др.-греч. φως / φωτος — свет и γραφω — пишу; светопись — техника рисования светом) — это получение и сохранение изображения при помощи светочувствительного материала». По смыслу означает светопись - техника рисования светом - получение и сохранение неподвижного изображения. В более широком смысле, фотография понимается как искусство. Искусство фотографии - это искусство получения фотоснимков, где основной творческий процесс заключается в поиске и выборе композиции, освещения и момента фотоснимка.

Еще несколько десятков лет назад фотография была лишь снимком на память, а сейчас является уникальным направлением в современном искусстве. Фотография помогает оживить и преобразить текущую реальность. Для большинства людей фотоснимки являются ценными документами, свидетельствами истории длиною в жизнь. Фотография, также является фактом окружающей действительности, но в этот же самый момент и художественным образом, создающим нужное впечатления у зрителя, смотрящего на фотографию.

Языком фотографии можно рассказать историю не только одного человека, но и целого рода, и даже всего человечества. Фотография показывает нам мир таким, какой он был в ту секунду, когда был сделан снимок. И этот запечатленный мир остается с нами навсегда.

Вот почему фотография является важным элементом в различных проектах, особенно тех, которые несут в наш мир важнейшую историческую информацию. Ведь без визуального представления территории, объекта или даже атмосферы местности, невозможно получить завершенную картину события, о котором нам хотят рассказать или продемонстрировать. Особенно элемент визуализации важен в проектах, которые имеют историческую направленность. С помощью фотографии мы имеем возможность продемонстрировать все красоты мира, исторические артефакты, о которых люди могут даже не подозревать. Фотографирование местности, исторических объектов, традиций, национального быта является весомым фактором в дальнейшем привлечении заинтересованных лиц.

It should be noted that a big popularity obtain such tourism destination, as photo-tourism. This type of holiday was invented by those, who always carry the camera, constantly saving unforgettable moments of his life, unusual and unique corners of nature, historical and architectural monuments. A tourist, while traveling, has the ability to shoot the most unique places and objects. The atmosphere at the photo tour inspires creativity, and pictures may be the visit card of the photographer. This form of tourism is suitable for photographers, who travel to refill the portfolio, and working out in practice with prior knowledge of photography. Such tours are organized, as a rule, by travel companies, but also by photo school or professional photographers, to create special workshops and photo shoots in nature. Organizators of such tours plan the duration of the trip, choose routes, create a program of stay, book the hotel accommodation for the duration of the trip. A very interesting and promising direction, in my opinion.

Photo allows a person to open up, to find your own style and gain self-confidence, and as result to change life for better. Photographers say that a person after several professional photo shoots with make-up, stylists, hairdressers, changes radically. At first photography he is closed and clamped, but after a few hours of photo-shoot - he is more confident and relaxed. The thing is, these professional photo shoots help us to see the shooting from both disadvantages and advantages, to learn how to move, smile, choose the best fit for hair, clothes, style. And besides, to see your own perfect photos and listen to compliments about them from friends, relatives, colleagues, increases your confidence, brings joy and happiness.

I absolutely agree with the opinion that picture now is of great importance; it is an important part of our lives. Photographs help us to see the places, which, in real life, we might have no opportunity to visit. All we need is just to look closely, to imagine, and to feel what the photo designer wanted us to see. Except this, what we need - is the memory of the most enjoyable moments of our lives. Photo allows recollecting all the feelings that we experienced at the certain moment. Or what’s more important, it allows you to see the people you love every day who may be far away from you. I find photography the greatest invention of mankind, which cannot lose its value in society, and will be actual always.
