Fotographía: Light, Science, and the History of Photography traces the evolution of photography from its scientific origins to its role in today's digital and networked world. Combining historical context, visual analysis, and cultural interpretation, the text examines how photography has shaped—and been shaped by—art, science, technology, politics, journalism, identity, and everyday life.
