1. Photography and photo imaging
Photography is the practice of creating images by recording
light, either chemically by a light-sensitive material such as
photographical film or electronically by a image sensor. The
lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects
into real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera
during a timed exposure. The result in an electronic image
sensor is an electrical charge at each pixel, which is processed
and stored in a digital image file for display.
There are around 40,000 people working in photo imaging over
the UK. This particular industry has nearly 9,000 companies,
which are a mixture of sole trading and freelance
photographers.
