Description
The successful operation of the LHC over the past 6 months has enabled the ATLAS detector to collect more than 40 pb‐1 of collision data. A significant portion of these data has already been analyzed and results have been made public. Electromagnetic signatures are of particular importance since they constitute a large fraction of the final states of a number of physical processes already observed in the collected data. A brief overview of the reconstruction of electrons and photons in ATLAS will be given. It will then be followed by some personal selection of recent results on physics processes involving electrons and photons in their final state. Finally some future research plans will be presented
