maybe painting is not the correct word I am looking for. Think about this, you are imagining something, you gather stuff to create your subject... after you created your subject, you photograph it.
There are two things going on here, one is the imagination of your creation (your subject) and second is the photo of it (your composition, perspective of it)
I don't know what that is called, but that's why those samples for.
Sample #1:
Pretty much "staged" the whole thing...
vs.
sample #2:
even though this is also staged (most likely), it's from a regular life itself... a moment from a regular life.
they both photography, they both art, but one of them photographer had to create something basically from nothing, only using imagination.
I donno, maybe I just don't make any sense here.
Below samples they gave, woman are already looking pretty and beautiful, but can you create something pretty and beautiful?
Pretty and beautiful? Created out of nothing. Is that what art is? Are you sure? "D
Our minds are not our own any more, we're overstimulated with information, entertained to the point of catatonia with a riptide of information & images. How do you know you're creating something pretty and beautiful out of nothing when it could just as easily be re-creating something you've already seen but forgotten? People are getting desperate to do something for the first time--the world's first fashion shoot in free fall happened recently when a model & a photographer sky-dived their way thru it.
Bring out photos that are staged, colorful and/or looks pleasing to eyes.

Thanks for sharing this, Leo! I can only take credit for the execution part. Because the brilliant idea is originally from Chema Madoz. So, the credit for the "real art" part in this image should go to that genius. There are a lot more in that link I have shared.
