When we think of art, we think about creativity and imagination. It is a form of self-expression that captures and expresses the artist emotions, experiences and personal views on subjects. Reproductions of that form of art, be that painting, photographs...is just a way to make the original more famous, widely but it's not art, because it is a copy from an original. Mechanical reproducibility has a great impact on the society because in that way we can appreciate a good copy of something that is truly artistic. We are in erea of digital reproduction, there have the advanced technology and ability to reproduce an image of the original. There's no longer an orginal, since there have been so many copies, it's so difficult to tell the difference between the original and replica.
Photography is both a tool used by artists and a contribution to art. Photography is more than just taking pictures, it is about capturing the raw and unique moments that can't not be created unless of course it is forced, but even then the moment itself would never be the same the original shot its. Photography can also be a contribution to arts. The advancement of digital technology has allowed photos to be manipulated in ways that further express the artist's creative ideas.
Henry Pitch Robinson created Fading Away by using the five negatives in this one photo. It show the girl dying and depressed her family members surrounding her. Robinson created this picture to portray the true and painful human experiences the family had to go through "the life is going on".
Mechanical production has created revolution for digitalizing art and photography. Digitalizing is becoming more common and everyone is depend on the computer or online website or Ms photoshop to edit images, videos..as what you like. Whether it's to change the contrast, brightness, sharpness and quality of picture.
