With the concept of art being around for many millennia, it’s no wonder why traditionalists are running scared. The debate of photography being art is often criticised with the points of, ‘anyone can do it,’ and ‘there is no real talent, nor creativity involved,’ but isn't photography just a modernised way of traditional art? Does it not carry the same key aspects used to make a traditional artwork? And yes, agreeably, it makes it easier to capture those ‘extra special’ moments, but who’s to say a photographer doesn't put just as much skill, effort and creativity into ones work. When new media first came to light photography was one of the main revolutionary changes that has forcibly begun to put traditional art practices to rest. With major advancements in technology happening daily there’s no question as to why photography is such a debatable and controversial art form. Humanity has always been fascinated by the possibility of capturing moments and providing the ability to share something nobody else has seen. ![]() ![]() Comment your opinion I'd love to hear what you think, do you believe photography is art? Probably one of my favourite expositions I've ever written, thought I may as well share it with the world.
