  • Welcome to the new site. Here's a thread about the update where you can post your feedback, ask questions or spot those nasty bugs!

Open Photography Forums

EDIT: This new thread has originated from this sticky thread:
http://www.openphotographyforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8513

Every now and then, we reopen the discussion of what is art in photography when a (new) member pops the seemingly innocent question: "is my picture a piece of art?". We have spent an enormous amount of time (and sweat and tears) discussing the possible answers to this question in the past. Therefore it makes sense for anybody who is wondering about this question to read first what has already been discussed.

Here is a collection of links to the most interesting threads on the topic of art in photography (or vice versa).


And as an added bonus, also interesting to read:

This list is far from complete, it is possible that I may have overlooked certain threads. Please let me know if you think that the list must be extended.

Have fun with the reading.


EDIT: This thread is not for finding out what individual members think about their photography: whether it is art or not. Instead, this thread is meant as a linking pin (a collection of links) to various threads where actual discussions (have) take(n) place. Having said that, please feel free to provide an answer if you have one. Or provide a definition if you want to. It is always interesting to read what people's take is on this. However, please also note that it is not the intention to get into bilateral discussions and/or polemics in this thread so we'll be moderating posts if there is need to. Thanks for your understanding :).
