Photography as Art

Celebrating World Photography Day, Wilhelm van Rensburg, Senior Art Specialist & Head Curator at Straus & Co, reflects on the differences between photographs, photography as art, and photorealism.

When does a photograph become and artwork?
How do artists use photography as an art medium?
In what ways can an art photograph be interpreted?
When did the photographic turn occur?
