Can members of China Photographers Association be called artists?

You can't call it an artist.

Photographers are only artists, not artists. Only photographers belong to the category of artists. Photographers serve customers and are full of commercialization. Generally speaking, the beauty of the subject is measured, and the customer acceptance and market acceptance can be regarded as a good photographer.

The first duty of a photographer is to create art. His works are not measured by the beauty of the subject, but by the power of expressing emotions. He can express his personal feelings at will, and he creates them in order to reach the audience.
