photography is capturing a image from an exact point in time using light.

photography as an Art Form

personally, I think photography is an art, this is because of all of the things you have to do to get a perfect photo. You have to choose the lighting and adjust it to create the mood you are going for in the photo, whether this be cool or warm light, coloured light, dim or bright light, you need to be creative and think about which light best represents the idea you are going for. You need to think about position and angle, the whole picture changes when you change the angle and position the slightest bit. On top of taking the actual image, there is a lot of creativity that happens after the image is taken, for example editing and composition of the images. There is a huge editing process behind the image, changing the brightness, clarity, white balance, exposure and more can make the image even better. Once the image is fully edited, you also have to think about how you are going to display your image, such as a collage or an online blog. So I think photography is an art form because it is a whole creative process.
