Photography is the control of light.

[H Richard]

For those interested in outstanding photography, control of light & subject, look at these photo's made by a Russian Farm Woman.
These pictures are what dreams are made of... - The Meta Picture

She has a good eye. She is capable to show what she sees,
a rare talent.

Anyone who says photography is not really art should see those.

She's an artist of a high order.

Great photos but I am pretty sure that a lot of post photo editing took place.

True...

Great photos but I am pretty sure that a lot of post photo editing took place.

That's probably true, but darkroom techniques on film are post photo editing. To me in a picture made for expression it is the end result that counts. If a picture were courtroom evidence I wouldn't say that applies.

Very beautiful photography, but although a "Russian farm woman" is accurate, it's not the whole story. She's a graduate of the Moscow Institute of Architecture; I can't pin down if she lives full-time on the farm or not with a cursory search, but I don't think so.

"I have seized the light..I have arrested its flight. The sun itself will draw my pictures." …..Louis Daguerre 1839.

Still holds true today - not that I'm a pro or anything, but most decent photographers study the light on the subject and not the subject itself - makes all the difference. If you know both things (subject & light) all the better.

I wish I had the gift to see through an artists eyes just for awhile. It must be a different world than my eyes see. Wished for it, but just don't have the gift.

Some people take the photograph and see it, and some see the photograph and take it.

The eye-bone's connected to the soul-bone. Pure artistry.

Why is editing not part of the art of photography? In what way does editing detract from the vision of the photographer or the manner in which she operates her equipment?

Why did Steichen take....

This is why Edward Steichen took over 1000 B&W pictures of a cup and saucer.

That's beautifully put.
