“Is Photography a form of art?”
Having written a thesis on questioning whether photoghraphy is a form of art, she answeres one of the most asked questions as a very solid answer. She says:
“Photography is of course a form of art as long as it possesses a certain level of orginality. If a photograph is something can everyone out there could have taken it is a file, not an art. If a piece is unique as possesses a certain level of creativity it is a unique form of art. A true artist would never have an accustomed perspective as he/she always looks fort he different and unseen, and that is what makes an artist expectional and unique.”
