An image is the visual representation of an object, a person, an animal or any other thing plausible to be captured by the human eye through different techniques such as the painting, the design, the Photography and video, among others.
Nowadays and as a consequence of the extensive development that technologies related to the projection and capture of images is that as time passes we can qualify it as dominated by all that visual. Almost everything today passes through the image, of course, this context of excessive culture visually it has its positive aspects, such as the fact that in just an instant you can capture a reality and share it with those closest, but on the other hand and here if the negative aspect comes, this situation has generated that issues such as reflection and the thought they are sometimes relegated to the imprint that the visual has taken.
Meanwhile, photography, as we mentioned above, is one of the most famous techniques and that almost everyone uses for several decades to represent or portray some object, person or event, among other possible issues.
Photography is the result of a process that starts with capturing an image and continues with the step of storing it in a material medium. sensitive to light, based on the original principle of the camera obscura from which an image can be projected that is captured at through a small hole on a certain surface with the clear aim of reducing its size but gaining in terms of sharpness.

Without the images that a photograph or video provide us, some realities, such as the universe and the external aspect of our planet, would be impossible to know.
