Imitation is the best form of flattery. Indeed, the one who gets imitated ought to be praised for setting a trend that is admired and followed by somebody else.

Fundamentally, art is considered as an imitation of nature. Well, basically, art aims to imitate nature. And this has always been the nature of artists considering that they draw inspiration, enlightenment and delight out from copying nature in its essence. As Aristotle once said, “It is natural to man to delight in works of imitation.”
As a matter of fact, the world of art boasts of many masterpieces that reflect the innate capacity of artists to imitate realities that reside in nature such as Michaelangelo’s Pieta that depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa depicts a woman whose expression is often described as enigmatic.
But this notion of artists imitating nature has been revolutionized with a new form of art—photography. Two essential milestones in the world of technology, the invention of the first camera by Johann Zahn in 1685 and the creation of the first permanent photograph by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1826 paved the way for the introduction of the world of photography that changed the way of capturing nature in its full clarity and meaning. Although photography was debated initially by many artists as just mere mechanical reproduction of an image because of the absence of an undefined component that would make a photograph beautiful to the viewer, advocates of photography as an art form such as Alfred Stieglitz, John Szarkowski, Edward Steichen and Edward Weston have pushed the enevelopes to make this new movement as truly an art form. Len Bernstein, a renowned photographer, asserts the idea that photography is essentially an art form for it allows not only the photographer but also the viewer “to look at every situation, object, loved one, and the next stranger we meet” with a meaningful sense of appreciation.
