“Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.” Arnold Newman
I greatly disagree with this quote. Photography can be one of the most real forms of art. When painters recreate scenes, every emotion of theirs can effect the piece. The brush strokes are not objective to what is in front of their eyes. Photography however is capable of capturing a moment as it is, when it happens. In candid photography for example, there is no recreation. The camera is simply capturing the pixels of a split second in real life. There can be illusion in photography, but the emotions and scenes don't have to be any less real.
