Is photographic reading work taking photos?

Yes. Reading is appreciation. There is no need to appreciate it, just to temporarily avoid the meaning of pondering and concentrate on mastering the correct and basic reading methods. As for creation or photography and appreciation, they are just two aspects of the same thing: creation is to provide works for people to appreciate. If you don’t know how to appreciate it, how can you create it? Therefore, almost any creation starts with learning to appreciate. Therefore a photographic reading of a work is the taking of a photograph.
