They also allow people to capture an aspect of something others might not normally notice and emphasize it. For example, an ordinary object can be the main focus of a photograph, even though it wouldn't be most people's focus in everyday life.

Photos are also a very exciting artistic medium, which offer just as much opportunity for creativity as other mediums because of the range of angles, subjects, and editing tools available. For example,I used Photoshop to alter a self-portrait into what looks like a horror movie cover:
The beauty of photography is that it fulfills a wide range of purposes. It can be an easy click and a resulting memento of a great time, or it can be a carefully constructed art form that resembles something imagined rather than real.
