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

Art can be fiction or "maybe"; And news photography must be true and must be "there".

Painting is a modeling tool with different material properties, one is modeling with painting tools, and the other is modeling with lens photosensitive device. Painting modeling is subjective, and lens sensitivity modeling is objective.

It must be noted that photography cannot be generally classified as an art category, and news photography is not an art category. Some news photography works do have the effect of art, because the images or scenes in them are typical and appealing. But news photography can't belong to the art category in essence. The "life" of news is to respect the "truth"; The "destiny" of art is to respect "subjective creation". News and art can never be equated!
