Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.. Videography refers to the process of capturing moving images on electronic media (e.g., videotape, direct to disk recording, or solid-state storage) and even streaming media. Video work could be called videography, whereas commercial motion picture production would be called cinematography.
