Photography
can be classified under imaging technology and has
gained the interest of scientists and artists from
its inception. Scientists have used its capacity to
make accurate recordings, such as Eadweard Muybridge
in his study of human and animal locomotion (1887).
Artists have been equally interested by this aspect
but have also tried to explore other avenues than
the photo-mechanical representation of reality, such
as the pictorialist movement.
Military, police and security forces use photography
for surveillance, recognition and data storage. Most
commonly a camera or camera obscura is the image forming
device and photographic film or a digital storage
card is the recording medium, although other methods
are available.
For instance, the photocopy or xerography machine
forms permanent images but uses the transfer of static
electrical charges rather than photographic film,
hence the term electrophotography. The rayographs
