What is photography as a creative medium?Show answer
A common misconception is that photography merely records reality. In fact the photographer makes a series of deliberate choices that construct the image and its meaning. Framing and composition decide what is included and excluded and how elements are arranged, directing the eye and the reading. Light (natural or artificial, hard or soft, and its direction) models form and sets mood, just as in painting.
