Some differences between press and art photography is that press photographs are meant to capture reality there should be no alterations to the photographs taken because they need to tell a true story weather the story be about war or sporting events such as the press photos i have above. Art photographs on the other hand can be altered to express the artists feelings or artistic vision. Both art photographs i have above have been altered either with color or taken differently.

Some similarities between press and art photography and between these photos is that although there are different uses of these photos all of them express the artist's vision weather it is altered or not. All four pictures were all taken in order to capture a perfect moment weather it be at a sporting event to see who will win to final run or just to capture the right night of perfect rainfall or fog.
