What Is Photography?

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

One of the many exciting challenges in teaching photography at whatever level is getting students to think hard about the nature of the subject. Why is this important? I think there are several possible answers to this question:

• Photography is often taught within art, craft and design GCSE and A level specifications but many practitioners and historians would dispute its place there, preferring to think of it as a vocational discipline.
• Photography is a multi-disciplinary subject with its origins in science. 

Photography allows one to capture the world around them with the press of a shutter. “What is photography?”
