No, we don’t strictly need cameras to create images. Cameras are just one of many tools. Images can be created in countless ways—through drawing, painting, graphic design, AI generation, or even manual techniques like photograms (where objects are placed on light-sensitive paper and exposed to light).
Even in photography, a “camera” isn’t always traditional. Think of pinhole cameras or unconventional setups like using a flatbed scanner or even light and shadows to form images.
