Does photography belong to art or media?

Obviously, it must be art. Art is the originator of photography. The world progresses because of lazy people. There was once a lazy painter in ancient China. A man asked him to draw a picture and drew a picture of the scenery outside the window. It took him three years. He is lazy and plays every day until the deadline approaches. He wandered around the window in a hurry. Later, when he closed the window, he suddenly found that the scenery outside the window was suddenly printed on the white wall opposite the window in the house, just upside down. Finally, he spread the drawing paper on the wall and unfolded it. This is the principle of camera pinhole imaging, and this story is mentioned in Han Fei's notes. Although the story is not clear, it can be seen from the actual photography that the four elements of photography and the results of photography belong to art. Not the media. I hope the answer will help you.
