Does a photo need to say something?

A picture is a picture. A picture is art when some one likes it. Tho the person who took the picture will always think its art. Lets face most art didn't get to be art untill the person who made the art died then it was art

I totally agree with this statement. There is some fashion photography out there that while I find it beautiful, it doesn't really seem to be very deep or thoughtful, but others regard it as the most talented and beautiful work of photographic art. It is definitely subjective. I think as long as someone thinks when they see your work, has an emotional or logical response, this is what makes photography special, the fact that it can connect people removed by miles, culture and even time, not it's potential in the 'art' world.

I would think that most art never got to be art ever. Period.

Photographyfacts‬ : During film photography era back in 1820s, early cameras would take several hours to actually capture a picture. Unlike today, photography portrait sessions lasted long hours. With the long exposure technique, photographing adult people was still okay but when it came to photographing children, things turned even more difficult. To take portraits of kids, most of the times mothers had to sit all covered and disguised as chair holding their babies.

Photography is a way of expression, just like words and music.
