Photography is a special bond between the camera and the artist to express their vision. Everything we do that attracts us starts with our vision; if we see something yummy we want it, or something shinny we need to buy it. Therefore, photography is an art quality, production and expression. The photographer is creating the photograph. The camera records the image, but the photographer is the one capturing the emotion or beauty of the moment. Photography is art, that is a fact. Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder and some people don’t like that medium. Just because you don’t like it as much as, say, a painting, doesn’t automatically make it not an art form. Art is anything you create. It doesn’t matter if you made something out of nothing, or something out of something. If you made something out of nothing. Art, I believe is enhancing someone else’s perspective on things. Social media is a source to promote art because this is our modern day of marketing. Personally, I use social media like Instagram to post of photo of myself if I feel like my hair or make-up is done extremely good, so I just want to share it with my followers. What I believe that is considered art on social media is posting landmarks and sharing other artists work to spread the word because social media is a key to marketing these days. When I go on vacation I do rely on yelp or google to see images on good restaurants for references since it helps market revenue for hotels and restaurants but that is not art.
