Photography or Art.....

Photography or art? 

When I first picked up a camera I was frustrated that my shots rarely matched the image in my head.

Over the years, editing tools have advanced dramatically, giving photographers more freedom to shape their work.

Does that make it any less photography? I don’t think so.

You still need to capture the core elements in-camera — light, composition, and the ability to see what others might miss. For example, changing a background can completely alter a photo’s mood, yet the subject remains photography and the skill involved is still required.
For a long time I felt like a fraud when I manipulated images to realise my vision, but I’ve come to accept that there’s an art to finishing a picture after it leaves the camera.

What matters is how the process begins and how it ends; everything in between is simply my personal creative journey to bring that vision to life.
