Word origin

The word 'photos' is a shortened form of 'photographs', which originated from the combination of two Greek words: 'phōs', meaning 'light', and 'graphē', meaning 'drawing or writing'. The concept of capturing images using light-sensitive materials dates back to ancient civilizations, but photography as we know it today began to develop in the early 19th century with the invention of the camera.
