Why is Photography an Art has been asked a lot of times. And the answer has always been different, yet very much the same. Just because a photographer uses a camera instead of a brush or pencil as a means to express their vision doesn’t make it any less a form of art than any other means by which an artist chooses to express himself or herself.
The idea of visual art is the creation of an image. Photography and painting are but tools we invented to perform the creation of an image. The creation of an image does not depend on the existence of its subject. – Fari, 2014
Photography, like other forms of Art, requires elements and techniques that provide distinction from the rest. Each element factor in aesthetic value to the subject, making it just as much as an art as painting, architecture, sculpture or literature.
The point of photography at art is much the same as any other fine art: delivering work that tweaks your emotions.
Nothing couldn’t have said it better than that! Framing the subject by means of composition is a result of an intrinsic understanding of a preferred outcome.
Photography has its place at the fine art table or not. Opinions are divided among art specialist.
Some would never consider photography to be a true art form, capable of reaching the depth of a painting or a sculpture. Others are more flexible in this regard and look to photography as a distinct ,stand alone form of art that is in no way shadowed by other mediums.
While more and more critics and art specialists feel this way, the majority of the art world has not yet fully welcomed photography among the other visual languages that represent the gross of the market. – Oleg Sergeykin, 2017
