Should Photojournalism or Documentary Photography Be Considred Art?

"Photography is not just a clear choice - it is a sharp vision, it reveals new things and important facts" ("Hellbrun Art History Timeline"). Photo Alliance photographer Sid Grossman expressed this view and summarized the influence of photos on the United States in the 1940s and 1950s. In this era, the rate of photography of news photos has reached the climax, and photographers join this rank or react to it. The question of whether photos can be an art was solved long ago. Most major museums have a picture department and the price of these pictures is very high.

Art photography is a vision that artists create through photos through photos. Art photo is representative of news photos that provide visual documentaries on specific themes and events. It represents the reality of the object and focuses on the promotion of its products and services. Because art photography mainly expresses the vision of an artist and it is used as a reason for progress, it is also important for several reasons. Ansel Adams' Yosemite and Yellowstone are one of the wide examples of art photography. He is one of the most famous photographers in the 20th century and advocates protection. Most of his work focuses on building performance support and raising people's awareness through the beauty of art to protect his career.

Art photography focuses on the promotion of goods and services, visualizing the documentary by a specific theme or event documentary that literally re-expresses objective reality rather than photographer's subjective intentions or commercial photographs provide

However, since the late 1970s photojournalism and documentary photography have attracted more and more art galleries and art photography. Luc Delahaye, Manuel Rivera-Ortiz, members of VII Photo Agency frequently exhibit in galleries and museums. The National Photographers' Association (NPPA) was founded in the United States in 1946 and has approximately 10,000 members. Other countries around the world, including the British Press Photographers Association (BPPA) founded in 1984, resumed in 2003 and now has about 450 members.
