When Art is Art

In our Spirit and the Soul lectures, we teach our students the difference between Photography and Art. "What? Are you saying photography is not an art?" you would query. No! What we are saying is that you have to look at photography as a medium, very much like a paint brush/painting is a medium. The Art is what you create from that medium. It is the process that comes out of your heart that is the art. The sooner we can all understand this simple concept, the more we can call ourselves artists, without having to place a medium tag with it. i.e. Photographic Artist.
