Photography is both skill and talent. Photography is something that is acquired from practice. A talent on the other hand is a naturally gifted ability to preform some sort of action. A proficient photographer might have accrued their ability by having a natural eye for composition or light. On the other side of this, some photographers might have developed a skill set that allows them utilize his or hers camera to it’s fullest potential. We do believe however that a strong line exists between artistic talent and technical skill when it comes to photography. So to answer the question more directly, photography an art form is the ability to hedge both artistic talent and technical skill — it is not one or the other.
