A person paints a painting. A person sketches a drawing. A person sculpts a sculpture. A person designs and builds a building.
But I merely TAKE a photograph. All the others use verbs that describe constructing or creating something but I must passively "take" or "accept" what is already there. Even if you use the verbs "shoot" or "capture" you are still not describing the creation of something. It almost describes the destruction, not the construction.
Besides than "make" or "create," what are other verbs that can be used to describe the process of creating a photograph which are constructive or creative?
Professionals make photographs, amateurs make excuses, most people take snaps.
I give birth to a photograph
picasso miro dali monet and the others created something ..
granted they used tools and materials like someone who uses a camera
They did. Paint and brushes can be used to paint the walls of a house or they can be used to create great works of art. A pencil and paper can be used to make an artistic sketch or you could write a shopping list with it!
Likewise, a camera can create art or documentation or illustration. It isn't necessarily art just because it was created with a camera (or paint and brushes or pencil and paper).
