Perhaps, for you, the light IS the subject?😉

The answer is no.
Simply because there are always new places... New snowfalls, new trees, new people...

Did you read the question AND read what you wrote ?

A Cleveland Browns Super Bowl parade?
....sorry, couldn't resist.
The other way to answer the question is, no - everything has been photographed, but there is still so much to be photographed from my perspective.

I don't understand because the question was has everything already been photographed? The answer is no. The reason is that every photograph is history the moment it is taken and can never be taken again. The subject can be taken again but the one millisecond can never be repeated therefore it is now a new subject even if it looks the same.It has been said that The Evangelne Oak is the most photographed tree but I took its picture anyway knowing my picture would be different, probably not better but that is what makes it different.

I'll go with the subject being primary myself.
Great light, blah subject, ... wuff.
It's hard to get great light at high noon, but if that's the only time I can be at a place, I'll work with it.

Not everything needs to be photographed! A fellow in my unit in 'Nam had a big pair of red lips tattooed on his butt cheek. Had a picture taken so that he could get copies made to send to his friends.
BTW, it's a pretty safe bet that everything visible from orbit has been photographed. Multiple times.

Ah ... memories. I actually paid to have a pair of faded lips tattooed onto my butt cheek while on R&R in Japan in ‘65. Three of my buddies were looking on as I laid over the lap of the female tattoo artist. We were all laughing so hard, that I couldn’t lay still and she couldn’t do the tattoo.
Best money I ever spent for a great memory!

If it hasn't been photographed all of my ways, why would I care if it's been photographed a zillion times before? Indeed, there are times when I want to copy others, like when I discovered Tunnel View at Yosemite, and tried - and failed - to imitate Adams' work. Oh, and how about the lovely people whose portraits have yet to be done: there's thousands born every minute.

How about deep in the center of the Earth?

Years ago on one of our remote wilderness excursions my buddy said that he doubted anyone had ever been here in the history of the world. Rather than panic at our situation I replied that now I understand why.

There are as many places never visited by man as there are never photographed by man! A ten dollar camera in the hands of a person who "see's" images beforehand is better off than a 3 thousand dollar camera with someone looking!
