"Art and content are two completely different things. Art is made and based on emotion and designed to express a feeling of some sort. It requires a creative skillset and its primary purpose isn't necessarily for capitalistic means."
"Content, on the other hand, is primarily meant for capitalistic means. It's also designed to disappear after a while. On social media, people post content that's meant to be within a feed."
"A museum's walls and galleries aren't meant to be a feed. They're a full meal with various courses and specialties."
"When someone uses the word 'creator,' I encourage you to stop them."
The term 'creator' diminishes the unique artistry of photographers by grouping them with other content producers. This label implies that photography is merely content for marketing, rather than a form of art driven by emotion and expression. Art serves a deeper purpose beyond capitalism, while content is transient and designed for quick consumption. The distinction between art and content is crucial, as art aims for lasting impact, unlike the fleeting nature of social media feeds.
