Photographers:Do you see yourself as more of an artist or a technician?

Photography lets me blend technical expertise with the aesthetic. Can I consider myself an artist? I don't know: what do you say... www.davidrichphotography.org ?

Photography is equally an art as well as a technology. To excel you must be both, do both, equally well.

I consider myself an artist. I like trying to find different angles and colorations for pictures. I like to print them to a bigger size so I can decorate my home with my own pictures from hiking trips and other vacations. I just love taking pictures.

I've never taken a photography class, but I'm still really good at photography. Although I have a lot to learn, and a lot to improve, I'm still really good. I think that's more of an artist, someone who has an eye for things that other people don't. Now don't I sound a little conceded right now? lol

I see photography as an art more than technique. Technique is learn-able but art is sort of talent and experience. Its also not really depend on equipment. No matter how good the equipment you are using, you can't capture good photos if you don't really found a good angle or moments. But, don't get me wrong, good equipment will help you to give better quality photos in terms of technicality, but in art, it is still in you, the photographers.

hi diamondsteam... I see myself more as an artist than a technician.
