I’m not sure how to express my question or raise the issue. Maybe it begs the question of whether a photo of a living thing (like a bird, animal, or human) is subjective “art” or is a capture of objective reality?
A few days ago, I commented glowingly on a particular photo of a bird because I was struck by the intense and unique color of the bird which I had never seen before. I thought to myself how lucky and talented the photographer was to capture this unique bird. Then, in some later comments, the photographer referred to some pp.
Maybe this shows my naïveté. But I was surprised. Maybe we should assume that all published photos are pp.
Obviously I guess a photo can be both art and reality. But in this instance, I would have appreciated knowing that it really wasn’t “real” but an artistic version of realty.
What do you think?
