Summary

This quote reflects the misconception that photographs are simply accurate representations of reality and, therefore, lack artistic value. However, it fails to acknowledge the artistic elements that can be infused into photography. Photography is not limited to capturing objective reality; it can involve creative composition, lighting techniques, conceptual ideas, and emotional storytelling. Just like any other art form, photography can evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, challenge norms, and communicate messages. While photographs may be rooted in reality, they can undoubtedly be elevated to the realm of art through the vision and creativity of the photographer.
