Should photography be real or artistic?

In aesthetics, defamiliarization is used to explain the aesthetic effect of photography. That is, things that are used to seeing at ordinary times and have become numb have become "background" in their feelings, and "prospect" has been mentioned again, which has strengthened people's feelings about the scenery. From this, I feel and know the external world I live in again, and of course I know myself again in a subtle way. Photographers use cameras to extract the beautiful things in life and expose the ugly things in life, both positive and negative. As a new objective reality, photos provide a new coordinate for life and guide people to discover and feel new angles and new ideas that let us know the world. Compared with other art forms, the authenticity, popularity and closeness of photography are closer to life than all art forms, providing more space for daydreaming and perception. From this perspective, photography is not only an art, but also the art closest to life.
