There is nothing wrong with using photography to show the world your inner self, but adding the baggage of 'Art' will only help to blur your viewers vision. I'm proud to be a photographer.

It is the intention that is important. In the same way that a paint can be used to decorate walls and therefore isn't art, when it is utilised by an artist for the purpose of making art then the painter becomes an artist and the paint turns into art. Photography is simply a medium of expression, to visualize an idea. It should be said however, that not all attempts to use photography to produce art are successful, this depends on how good the photographer/artist is, but then that is also true for any artistic endeavour in any medium. Hope that helps Bridget Hi Chelsey
