د "انځوراخيستنه" د بڼو تر مېنځ توپير

The word comes from the [[Greek words]] φως ''phos'' ("light"), and γραφίς ''graphis'' ("stylus", "paintbrush") or γραφή ''graphê'' ("representation by means of lines" or "drawing"), together meaning "drawing with light." Traditionally, the product of photography has been called a ''[[photograph]]'', commonly abbreviated ''photo''.

 

The [[camera]] or [[camera obscura]] is the image-forming device, and [[photographic film]] or a digital storage card is the recording medium.
