This article introduces a controversy about photography that I had considered myself, "how could this mechanical and mindless process be made to produce pictures meaningful in human terms?" Since photography seemed to be so much less artistic then previous adored methods of art, how could it receive the same recognition and praise? This article explains that photographers must explain what they do. First, in order to better understand photography, it is important to know the facts. Photography was started by scientists and painters. Some photos were taken by luck or by art, however, each photograph affected the way people viewed things. There are tips for taking good photography; to be artistic rather than lucky. First off, one must know the thing you are capturing and believe in it for the picture is truth. Second, pay attention to detail and the clarity within a photograph. Third, the frame. There is only so much that you can capture in a single photograph, so take many and make sure that what is within the frame is the most important. Fourth, Time. Time is such an important factor in photography, when you take it, it is the present, however, it will become a piece of history. Fifth, is think about your vantage point while you are taking a picture. You can take pictures that tell narratives and that are artistic by instructing your viewer with the right choice of vantage point.
