What's the difference between photography and taking pictures?

In fact, I will briefly talk about my understanding of this issue. Then I want to hear the reader's thoughts. Because you care about this topic, you must have your own preliminary judgment. There is a difference between photography and taking pictures. You can say a word or two in the comment area, and let's talk about this topic together.

My personal understanding. Photography exists as a comprehensive skill. If you master the skill, you can become a photographer. Therefore, it is a skill of different degrees, which can be studied in depth all the time. It is a skill supported by theory and a skill to create works. So its result is the pursuit of works, works that can be presented to others and let others feel the same. Taking photos is recording, and the important goal is to restore what you have taken and let others know the facts you recorded through photos. For example, the picture taken by the driving recorder can be understood as the record result of taking pictures. The results of taking photos will not become works in most cases, and taking photos does not require too deep skills and theoretical knowledge.

Photography is to go where others can't go, or go where others have been, but see the scenery that others can't see. Because as long as you hold the camera, your perspective is different from others.

The feeling of photography and ordinary photography is that every time you hold a camera, it is almost the same as holding a mobile phone, two completely different feelings. The viewfinder of the camera allows you to carefully compose the composition and choose the appropriate focal length, whether it is shooting with a distorted wide angle or a sense of space compression. Whether it is overexposed or underexposed, do you use a large aperture to reflect the subject or a small aperture to fuse the subject and background? It is photography to carve the picture in front of you with A file, P file or even M file. Of course, mobile phones can also take pictures. As long as you record the moments you feel extraordinary, you can become a photographer.

Therefore, photography is not only a verbal expression that I am taking pictures, but also depends on what you think. Photography will want to go out and show different pictures in your eyes to the public.
