How would you define beauty in photography? What are the characteristics of beauty? How can something ugly be photographed and be considered beautiful? Or can it? Examples?
I would define beauty in photography to be the pureness and rawness in whatever you might be photographing. With people it would be the emotion on their face or the look in their eyes. In nature it could be the stillness of the trees and mountains with a sunset behind them. Everything can be beautiful when photographed. I think the characteristics of beauty are being real,pure, and not closed off. I think that everyone is beautiful if you really get to know them, but it's so hard to see everyones beauty because many people are shy,quiet,or different. I think that something ugly can be photographed to be beautiful by just capturing the essence of the object or person. I think that if you photograph someone crying it would be beautiful because of the pure emotions, but the person themselves might have an unattractive face while crying. Another example could be if you photograph a homeless person. They probably are scruffy and not well maintained but when you capture that emotion on their face the picture becomes beautiful. I think everything can be photographed to be beautiful; you just have to try.
