Color photography

Color photography captures images in multiple wavelengths of light, primarily red, green, and blue, which correspond to the primary colors our eyes see. During filming or digital imaging, sensors or film layers record these different colors simultaneously. When viewed, the combined data reconstructs a full-color image that closely resembles what the human eye perceives. This process involves filters or sensors designed to distinguish and reproduce the subtle variations in color, resulting in photographs that are vibrant and realistic. Color photography enhances visual detail and emotional impact compared to black-and-white images, making it a powerful tool for documentation and artistic expression.
