Technically yes, but the actual content of the photograph was all there, independently of the photograph. And the act of taking the photograph is completely mechanical, not creative. That's not art.

>> No.1272380

>>1272374

so literature isn't an art? The words were there, you just had to put them in the right order. its a mechanical process.

I am not a fan of photography and I still think your argument is stupid. Sure, the content of the photograph was there to begin with, but it takes somebody with an eye to capture it in a way that is "artistic".
