Photography records images of objects by projecting their image on a sensitized surface like film or a digital chip. Most often the projected image is formed by focusing light rays and then recording them. Now light is not the only radiant energy. We can project and record X-ray and sound waves (ultra sound) and electrons (CRT TV) and electron microscope images and more to your question, heat rays. Light is that portion of the spectrum that we can see with our eyes. Just below and above are frequencies we cannot see but we can image. These are infrared and ultra violet.
Infrared is heat rays. We can image the earth using infrared and see the terrain at night because objects will have a different temperature. As an example, bodies of water retain heat longer than land thus a night water shows op in bold relief as apposed to land. We can image the human body in infrared and identity abnormal hot objects like tumors and infection. In astronomy we image in infrared to learn about our universe.
We often image in infrared with our cameras to record a picture of the world that is quite different than we see with our unaided eyes. Such images are valued as an art form.
