Photography is mainly based on shooting or PS in the later period. Some photos are beyond recognition, is this still a "photographic work"?

photography is only a means and a tool, not an end.

whether shooting is the main thing or later P is the main thing, both serve the purpose. Photography is a process to achieve a goal, in which the more means or tools, the better.

photography, mainly shooting or PS in the later period. Some photos are beyond recognition, whether it is still a "photographic work" is not a problem!

specifically speaking, in the early stage, photographers can use various technical means (lighting, filters, exposure, white balance, lens, angle of view, depth of field, composition) to take all kinds of "unrecognizable" pictures. Later stage: There are many techniques and techniques in the film era. At the beginning of film development, you can increase the sensitivity, negative impact, etc. After the film is developed, you can use a knife and a pen to revise the plate, color, and print photos. The modern name is PS. Has always been an inseparable part of photography.

it must be understood that pressing the shutter is only a part of photography, and the later stage is also an important part of photography. Only photos (finished documents) are the products and finished products of photography! Just pressing the shutter without taking photos (pS) is a half-shot photography, which may be properly called taking photos.

A photographer without a darkroom (later stage) is incomplete, and voluntarily giving up the darkroom (later stage) is the lack of artistic creation means.

The so-called "work" is the real goal to be discussed. For example, how can news photography be considered a bad picture?

finally, it is emphasized that photography is the whole process of taking pictures and making. Only creative photos can be works of art.
