How is Photography used?
Photography has come a long way in the last twenty years. Now photography is used all over the world to document many things for example, personal experiences, television shows, and research. Photography is an easy way for people do capture their memories and document their lives on a small scale level now that cameras have become so readily available. It also allows people to express themselves using photography as a form of art.
Photography as an Art
Only recently has h[photography began to be considered an art form. Personally I believe that photography has always been an art form as it allows people to express themselves in many different styles and settings. Photography allows people to be as creative and imaginative as they want with very few limits as to what they do and where they can go. This means that anyone who owns a modern phone can become an artist in their own way.
Photography as a profession
Thousands of people all over the world make a living through photography. Whether its through taking and selling pictures through on your own or thorough a company with very high end equipment. Photography is heavily used in documentaries to show the true nature of the world or in heavily populated areas, rich and poor to make clear and document the true stories these places tell. Professional photography is an ambition in younger generations as it it they way forward and the war to make people aware.
