Press Photography VS Art Photography

 

                Press photography are photo that are taken by photojournalists, it is used in newspapers, magazines. A press photographer’s main objective is to capture an image that will be able to convey and tell a story as best as it can.
                Art photography is an image captured in the creative views of the photographer. Art photography give photographers the freedom to capture a unique photo that portrays there idea and creativity.
                 Even though art photography and Press photography have many differences in there use they do share some similarities.  Both art and press photography are known to be art that tells a story. Whether it is true or use of imagination. Also they both take time and detail to capture the perfect photo.

 Is it ethical and acceptable to alter art photographs? Why? Why not?
                   I believe that it is ethical and acceptable to alter art photographs because it give photographers more opportunity to display their images it the way they want. Giving them more way to be creative and make images unique. It gives them way to show viewers that photos don’t only have to be taken just throw the lens, but can be changes throw many ways and can be as creative as the photographer imagines it.

   Is it ethical and acceptable to alter press photographs? Why? Why not?
                     I believe that it is not ethical or acceptable to alter press photographs. Press photographs are uses to portray fact therefore any alternation will give viewers false view of the image and will not be a true image of the facts happening around us. Enhancing the quality of a press photograph is acceptable, but when moving or deleting components of the image it gives a false view of reality.
