The pursuit of taking photographs as a leisure activity rather than a profession or industry, one of the most widely practiced hobbies now that cameras and image sensors are so accessible. Amateur photographers frame, expose and process their own images for their own satisfaction, historically developing film by hand in a darkroom and now relying on digital sensors and computer software instead, distinct from the professional and artistic uses of the same underlying process.
