Photography is a complex language, How it has impacted the society?

• Photography is often called “the Universal Language” because it can speak to all people, from all over the world, no matter what actual language they may speak.
  

• Photography admittedly meets the first of my two definitions, it's a vastly complex system of communication, because it takes as it's communicative components the visible world and complicates this already enormous vocabulary by viewing it in a wider range of ways than the naked human eye.
  

• In 1927 László Mohly-Nagy proclaimed that ‘the illiterate of the future will be the person ignorant of the use of the camera as well as the pen.’ Today people often speak of visual literacy, and of the ‘language of photography’. This is taken to be a visual code inherent to photography, which is able to transcend the usual limitations of other modes of written or spoken communication which must be laboriously learnt. By contrast it is often assumed that this language of photography is inherent and immutable, that it is understandable to anyone, anywhere.
  

• The language of photography involves aligning signs, which, when assembled together through photographic writing, allows the author to express his desires and purpose of the photograph. This process opens the door for the viewer to understand the photograph's meaning.

Why cameras become so popular

Cameras became a great tool for scientific research, documented newly discovered species, a tool of document evidence of scientific field trips, was able to capture the people of remote tribes. Cameras later then led to the innovation of brain scanning and assessing human anatomy.

We use them to capture memories, tell stories, and document the world around us. But did you know that cameras can be used for much more than just photography? It's no surprise that we use cameras in every facet of our lives.

Photography is the ultimate tool for capturing our surroundings with a realistic approach. Due to the very nature of capturing evidence, it has impacted the way we remember things from our past. From global-scale events to domestic and familiar occurrences, photography has shaped the way we remember things.

With the ability of photography to document changes in time and the reality of the physical experience of being human, people were able to be recorded. Representations of figures of authority were no different than the average citizen. The invention of photograph changed the way people perceived their reality.

Photography as an art form arose from advancements in technology which allowed photographers to manipulate their images to fit their artistic expression. Photographers are able to drastically change the outcome of an image through choosing various cameras, lenses, film, and the framing and timing of a shot.
