There is a place for photography! Published: Sunday February 22, Howard Moo Young, Contributor Moo Young The debate on what makes something art goes as far back as the discovery of the first cave painting, and even then, the critics might have debated what they were meant to be. I believe that the same thing happened when the first photographic image was made some years ago.

Not surprisingly, the source of objections came mainly from painters and others in the two-dimensional media, many of whom felt threatened by the photographer who could now 'draw from nature' with the supposed ease, so it seemed.

There were many academics, whose sole aim was to ban photographs from salons and galleries. And though less apparent, that still happens in some quarters today. Even as this debate continues, the purists among the photographers will argue about what constitutes real photography: silver halide or digital photography. Some feel that somehow digital imaging is simply not photography, and that film is the ultimate recording medium.

Photography is an art form at its core, in that the end result is an image, and that image was what the photographer saw before he pressed the shutter.

That image can mirror 'reality', create abstractions of light and colour, reveal all or obscure parts of the whole, or even fool the eye. Photographers, through their choice of lens, aperture and shutter speed, can show a world unseen by the unaided eye. They can interpret the world when they snap the shutter and reinterpret it when the image is finally processed and printed.

Each photographer sees the world through a personal filter that transforms reality into an artistic statement. Each image stands on its own and has the power to evoke emotions, from anger to sentimentality, and even change attitudes about the world around us. Photographs can show us what takes place in the boardroom as well as in the bedroom, they can inspire a desire in others to pick up a camera and contribute their own vision to the world.

To me and many others in the profession, this is defining art with a camera, just as the painter does with brush, paints and canvas, or the sculptor with wood, metal and stone.
