Photography As Art Form
Photography as an art form: What sets apart a great photographer from the average?
I’m curious.
Nothing like studying the photographs of people who are considered great photographers and then distill it down for yourself… it can be many things.

Photography As Art Form
Is photography really a form of art?
I’ve always thought of real art as drawing, painting, making music and whatnot.
When you push down the button on a camera and take a picture is it fair to call you an artist?
Because, if you think about it, the camera is doing all the work….
That is not true. More recently cameras can do more than they used to but a true artist does not use a simple digital, auto-focus camera. They adjust the focus, the lighting, choose the right setting, subject, pose, etc to create the mood and story they want to convey to the viewer. If you think about the fact that a picture tells a story, someone put thought into how you would view that photograph and what that story would be. That is what makes photography an art form just like drawing and painting. It still takes a lot of creativity to make a beautiful, interesting or thought provoking composition or to see the beauty is something so mundane that you elevate it to the level of art by making it the subject of a photograph.

A 35 mm camera to school?
I am looking into a camera for my photography class. He said a 35 mm camera is required for this class and I am …. a little lost as to what camera to get. The class is an introduction to black and white photography as a form of art and visual communication. We will gain practical experience in laboratories that cover the camera and darkroom procedures. So what I think is the best camera for that. I have intend to take a picture of the lack of a little more …. So I did something I can not work thereafter. What do you suggest?
Any good brand SLR for you. I would get used. Here is a selection of quality cameras: Steve http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/3017/35mm_Film_Cameras_35mm_Cameras.html
