In order to get an image, the camera must gather the reflected light of the object, so the object becomes the source for photographic purposes. |
The camera does not gather reflected light because the light is not being reflected toward the camera. Yes, the object is the source of the photograph but I don't understand what you mean by "the object becomes the source for photographic purposes." Obviously, without the object there would be no corresponding light on the film.
