What's the difference between news photography and artistic photography?

News photography focuses on reality, which technically tests whether the photographer can grasp the most realistic light and shadow effect and the suddenness of the event, such as taking excellent photos of the event scene in bad environment (dark light, bad weather, etc.). );

Art photography focuses on beauty. As long as it looks good, you can play it at will, even surreally ... artificially create light and shadow effects, artificially create live scenes, and artificially create everything that can be changed;

Personally, I think artistic photography technology is more changeable, because it can be realistic or surreal, and both natural light and artificial light can be used. Light is the soul of photography, and it is not a problem to use it well, whether it is artistic photography or news photography. But this does not mean that you can shoot excellent news photography by learning art photography well, and news photography also needs long-term experience accumulation!

I typed it word by word. I just hope it helps. Hope to adopt!
