Baudelaire thinks photography is not creative.

Baudelaire thinks that photography is not creative, which is correct.

Baudelaire believes that photography is not an art, but a technology. He believes that photography cannot create new images or express personal feelings and thoughts through the imagination and idealization of artists like painting or poetry. He believes that photography can only reproduce reality, capture superficial phenomena and satisfy the low taste of the public. He thinks photography lacks creative significance.

Baudelaire's view of photography is based on his understanding of art and beauty. He believes that the ultimate goal of art is to create beauty, and beauty should not be bound. Good is not equal to beauty, and beauty also exists in evil and ugliness. He believes that beauty is a compound concept, including eternity and change. Baudelaire's criticism of photography mainly focuses on its failure to meet the requirements of eternity and change.

He believes that photography can only reproduce reality, but can't create new images or express personal feelings and thoughts. He believes that photography lacks artists' subjective creativity and aesthetic judgment and can only record objective things mechanically. He believes that such photography has no eternal value and significance. He believes that photography can only capture superficial phenomena, and cannot reveal deep meaning or transcend the universality of time and space.

Introduction to photography:

Photography is the art or technology of recording images on photosensitive media by light or other electromagnetic radiation. The main tool of photography is camera, which can capture static or dynamic images and create different visual effects.

Photography is not only a tool for recording and spreading, but also a medium for expression and creation. Photography not only requires photographers to master and use various photography techniques and skills, but also requires photographers to have certain artistic accomplishment and aesthetic ability. The significance of photography lies in showing the photographer's self-expression of the world and life, recording and exploring the world, and sharing the ideological expression of a visual story.

There are many different types and styles of photography, such as landscape photography, portrait photography, documentary photography and so on. Each type and style has its own characteristics and laws, as well as attractive charm and value. Photography also has many different schools and factions, such as realism, romanticism, modernism, postmodernism and so on. Each school and faction has its own theory and practice, as well as its own influence and contribution.
