Photography is a technique, including processes and materials, that consists in fixing or reproducing over time accurate images of the real world on a photosensitive medium (silver photosensitive chemical with film or paper, digital sensor) by exposure to visible or non-visible light, such as infrared.

Medium-format film most often refers to cameras such as Hasselblad, Rolleiflex, Mamiya, Pentax 645Z or Fujifilm GFX using 120 or 220 photosensitive film, capturing shots with a 6 cm wide side, with variations such as 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9, 6x12 etc. The surface is therefore larger than film 135. The medium format today also concerns a range of digital cameras with a large sensor that can withstand the same optical conditions as its silver counterpart.

A landscape is a natural scene that captures the beauty of its spaces, the climate, its relief and how it integrates with nature or the elements created by human intervention. It can also focus on particularities of nature, on a wide angle or a detail.
