    Photography is Considered as an Art

    Photography is often hotly debated as an art form, simply because people make the assumption that taking a photograph of something does not create art – it merely captures something that already exists.

    Photography shows is the photographer’s vision. Whether you realize it or not, when you look at a photograph, you are looking at a scene that existed in reality, yes – but you’re also looking at how the photographer chose to frame it, present it, and spin it in order to make a piece of art.

    Sometimes an object which would have never caught anyone’s eye in the real world can be photographed in such a way that it makes a statement and becomes art. This is where the photographer’s skill comes into play, and this is where photography crosses the line into art.
