We need to look art in a wider perspective, learn to look and see. These two are not the same looking is different from seeing, sometimes we just look without bothering to see what they mean. We just simply look without realizing its significance.
​
Is Photography considered as an art form? Of course it is. Photography is not one of the traditional seven forms of art but it is included in the broader definition of the visual arts. And the most important tool of this art is the camera just like a brush in a painting , chisel to a sculpture and the like.
​
As wikipedia said “ Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. It is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g., photolithography), and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication.Photography is the result of combining several technical discoveries, relating to seeing an image and capturing the image.”
And now as a photographers view, photography let us imagine and be creative in every photo we make. Getting a perfect shot requires levels of creativity and a lot of imagination. We capture ordinary things in our camera and find ways to present it to the world extraordinary. And what separates our photo from a snapshot are the timings and foreseeing small details of the big moment. Details that captures powerful emotions.
​
Brief but long lasting emotional moments are every photographers dream shot.
