Lighting or illumination is the deliberate use of light to achieve a practical or aesthetic effect.

Lighting includes the use of both artificial light sources like lamps and light fixtures, as well as natural illumination by capturing daylight.

Daylighting (using windows, skylights, or light shelves) is sometimes used as the main source of light during daytime in buildings.

This can save energy in place of using artificial lighting, which represents a major component of energy consumption in buildings.

Proper lighting can enhance task performance, improve the appearance of an area, or have positive psychological effects on occupants.

A camera is an optical instrument for recording or capturing images, which may be stored locally, transmitted to another location, or both.

The images may be individual still photographs or sequences of images constituting videos or movies.

The camera is a remote sensing device as it senses subjects without physical contact.

The word camera comes from camera obscura, which means "dark chamber" and is the Latin name of the original device for projecting an image of external reality onto a flat surface.

The modern photographic camera evolved from the camera obscura.

The functioning of the camera is very similar to the functioning of the human eye.
