A photographer creates a picture by a process of selection:
- Photographers looking through the camera's viewfinder
- Must decide what to include and what to exclude from the scene.
- Select the distance from which to take the picture
- Choose the angle that best suits their purpose.
- Decide the instant in which to click the shutter.
- Spend some time editing the photograph
