How would you define beauty in photography?Beauty in photography, in my eyes, is a photograph that takes something from real life and makes it become surreal and bewildering; photography that is truly breathtaking causes people to stop, stare, and focus fully on that one moment because the photograph has cleared their mind of everything but that picture in front of them.
What are the characteristics of photographic beauty?
In my opinion, there is no "characteristic" of photographic beauty, but, instead, an experience. I recognize beautiful photography by its ability to bond with its viewer, and to create an emotional link. Photographic beauty is simply any image that connects with something inside someone and deeply affects them in some way.
Can something "ugly" be photographed and be considered beautiful?
Absolutely.
Why? How?
Because photography takes that object, and transforms it into something that is surreal and unnatural and somehow alien, while we know it is a photograph; yet, it astounds us.
Examples?
