The relationship between art and photography

Art and photography are similar in that both care about composition.

Photography pays more attention to the use of light and emphasizes the active arrangement of light.

Before the invention of photography, art painting was mainly used as a form of recording, including landscapes and people, and also expressed the creative art of artists. But mainly as a form of record.

After the invention of photography, painting gradually developed into abstract freehand brushwork to express emotions, from impressionist freehand brushwork to what people think is weird. It's hard to understand. Of course, realistic painting still exists. This is just a purely artistic thing, not as a form of record. It is an important part of cultivating people's artistic accomplishment. The function of recording is gradually decreasing. But through photography.

Photography has a much shorter history than painting, but its convenience and freedom are very popular. You can take photos according to your own intentions, or you can do post-processing to achieve the desired effect. It is very helpful to cultivate people's aesthetics and vision.

Art is the source and nature, and it is not divorced from nature. Because any art form is based on nature. Only when there is nature can there be scenery, animals, human beings, human civilization and all kinds of man-made objects. Almost any artistic theme is inseparable from nature. Human beings depend on nature, and it is precisely because of their worship and praise of nature that art, the knowledge of expressing and recording beauty, was born. And humans are slowly transforming nature. Nature provides a source of artistic inspiration for human beings, and human art records and expresses the worship and praise of the beauty created by this nature.

Those who study fine arts can choose photography as their major in school exams. Personally, I think photography is better as a hobby. My teacher's previous major was photography, or life forced him to give up his hobby. It's best to understand the purpose of learning before studying.
