Photography as Art:
Alfred Stieglitz was born in 1964 in New Jersey. He went to school in Germany for engineering. In 1890 he was determined to make photography was a form of artistic expression like painting. He was the editor of Camera Notes until people did not agree with his idea that photography can be used for aesthetic purposes and he left to work as a freelance photographer. He made many platinum prints and used natural scenes and painting to make his prints. His most famous photography was of Georgia O'Keeffe who he later married. He also realized that photographs are just as reflective upon the photographer's feelings for the subject as they are a reflection of the subject portrayed. He dies in 1946.
