However, most artwork I’ve been prompted to do outside of a professional setting had to rely on photo references, which are already through the photographer’s perspective. The metamorphosis of photography defined by Szarkowski makes sense, seeing as with all art movements, originally it is looked down on by its predecessors. Photography does what painters do in seconds but with higher detail and quality. However, through the way Szarkowski describes the artistic quality photographers possess, it then makes sense when Berger describes how the person behind the images and their ideas is just as important as the image
