What is the soul of photography?

Everyone has a different aesthetic view. Everyone has a different view of photography. If you want to please the public, take some photos that others think are "good-looking", which is the way of professional photographers. The soul of photography? It is your choice. Personally, I choose to freeze what my eyes see and what my brain thinks in the photo. I gave the soul of this photo. Maybe others don't agree, maybe some people will think it's ugly. But just like you live in this world, there are people who don't like you and people who know you are ugly. But, you are yourself. The photos you create are the crystallization of your own thoughts and eyes. Be yourself and take pictures of your soul. This is the soul of photography. Everything else, such as light and shadow, composition, model, environment, etc., is just a technical problem, and it is just a matter of photography level, not the soul.
