After watching the DVD, I have realized that the topic of photography being art or science is always going to be debatable.
Art
- - Testing
- - Trial and error
- - To get an end result
- - A Idea
Science
- - Mechanics
- - Testing
Art and Science photography is both, Art meaning that there is an idea part of photography including the photographer's artistic goals, It’s like working with a blank canvas designing and imagining.
Science is the product being used. mechanics technique and equipment, the design of the camera and how it captures an image.
The two aspects of art and science are just as important. And real.
And you cant have one without the other.
I agree, and you need both too. A good technical person might be able to do all the gadget side of things but if there is no concept behind it remains superficial. Likewise, you might have great art ideas, but if you do not know how the camera works you end up without your intention being represented.
