The main differences and similarities between art and press photography
The difference between press and art photography is that press photographs is aimed at news and art photographs is created by an artist. Art photographs is like a canvas that can manipulated by the tools of an artist and can decide what the photo is trying to say. Press photographs cannot not be manipulated, has rules that has to be followed, and has to be accurate in order to tell the truth. The similarities between press and art photography is that it can tell a certain story or message. Another similarity is that it can bring emotion to the viewers. For example a press photo of a war or battle can bring empathy or anger, and a art photo of beautiful garden in the sun can bring happiness or warmth.
