Excellent setup and perspective, the clothing and facial expression absolutely nail the work's theme. A great start on your art program's portfolio, Iveyysaur!
And yes, it is the loneliest number.Β But the strong person is always strongest when alone.

Photography is art. This isnβt. Itβs barely photography. The only reason anyone follows is for the edge, βthin-spirationβ, or as spank bank material.

Photography is a skill β any idiot can take a photo. Especially one of themselves. They arenβt even aesthetic shots. Sheβs just in her underwear and shit garnishing male attention for clicks.

How is this not tasteful? You cannot see ANYTHING! She's wearing a BRA, and her breasts are not seen, nor are her genitals. DA has a SELFIE section for a reason, which this photo is in said section.

i'm sorry but selfies aren't art no matter how pretty the person is lol
if photography is just taking a picture of something, does that mean a picture of a rock is automatically art????

"i'm sorry but selfies aren't art no matter how pretty the person is lol"
Of course they are, in fact there was a whole genre of art of people taking selfies before cameras even existed: Self portraits, you might have heard of them.
So if self portraits are a genre of art & photography is an artistic medium, how is a recognised genre of art, in a recognised artistic medium not art.

self portraits usually refer to art in my knowledge (that is, a painting or digitally drawn portrait) though i guess can also include photography, but i've never seen somebody use the term "self portrait" in that way. i don't consider selfies to be photography unless much effort was put into them.
www.tuxboard.com/photos/2010/0β¦ <-- this is a selfie and not what i what consider photography.
emilywilsonphotos.com/gallery/ these are self portraits (done with photography) and you can see much effort has been put into them- and it shows. almost every piece is artistic and captures a certain emotion.
posting a picture of yourself being pretty is not photography or an art. if you think so, then cool, but i don't. i would apply these same rules to myself. if i took a cute picture of myself i would consider it nothing more than a cute picture- not art, or an art in and of itself.

Of which photography, as we have already covered is a medium of.
"i don't consider selfies to be photography unless much effort was put into them."
You don't consider a photograph to be photography? But by it's very definition what else could a photograph be other than photography? To argue otherwise would be like arguing that cows milk isn't milk, or a basketball isn't a ball. By definition a photo is photography & photography is a medium of art.
I mean it's literally the dictionary definition of Photography.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Noun
The art or practice of taking and processing photographs.

"Of which photography, as we have already covered is a medium of."
i LITERALLY covered this in my previous comment. "(that is, a painting or digitally drawn portrait) though i guess can also include photography".
that was the whole entire point as to why i said "(that is, a painting or digitally drawn portrait)".
just because something is a picture doesn't make it photography or art. you can keep arguing to your heart's content but i'm not ever going to consider a selfie to be art. if you do, cool. i don't. and tbh i'm fairly certain that if this girl was average-looking or ugly, nobody would be calling it art. keep talking if that makes you happy but this conversation is pointless and nobody would ever convince me that a selfie is a form of art lol

"i LITERALLY covered this in my previous comment. "
And you were as wrong then as you are wrong now. A self portrait is defined as a portrait that an artist produces of themselves.
As for a portrait that is defined as a painting, drawing, photograph, or engraving of a person, especially one depicting only the face or head and shoulders.
So your knowledge on the topic is clearly flawed.
"just because something is a picture doesn't make it photography or art."
It's not a picture, it's a photo & every photo is photography. There is no such thing as a photo that is not photography. And as we've already covered, photography is a recognised medium of art.
" you can keep arguing to your heart's content but i'm not ever going to consider a selfie to be art."
Then oyu will continue to be wrong, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary & not a single piece of evidenceΒ in support of your position. Β
"and tbh i'm fairly certain that if this girl was average-looking or ugly, nobody would be calling it art."
Of course they would. She could be Quasimodo's less attractive cousin & a photo of her would still be a photo & a photography would still remain a recognised medium of art. But it's good to see you've finally got to your REAL issue with this image, your jealous over how attractive you find her in comparison to yourself. It took you long enough to get to this point, but you made it here eventually.

i didn't see this before bc i only read like half of your other comment but apparently you said this: "But it's good to see you've finally got to your REAL issue with this image, your jealous over how attractive you find her in comparison to yourself. It took you long enough to get to this point, but you made it here eventually."Β
i don't know why you think that "DURR HBURR UR JEALOUS LOL" was a valid point in your argument bc if anything it kind of weakened it by showing how immature you really are..?? sure, i'm a little jealous of how pretty she is because i have clinical depression and i hate myself. but i don't think that selfies are art no matter who takes it and how pretty they are, hence the reason i said earlier that if i myself took a selfie and thought it looked pretty cute i still wouldn't consider it art.Β
i already told you that you wouldn't be able to change my opinions and that trying to do so would be pointless, yet you still argued anyway and now you expect a rebuttal? your reading comprehension skills are.... yeesh...... i think you just like trying to act smarter than others so you can feel better about yourself, and you spend your free time trying to debunk strangers on pointless threads on an art website.
you seem a little lonely.
if your little..... rant.. is over, i suggest you find something better to do. unless you STILL want to keep going to make yourself feel better.Β
if you want to make friends i suggest you join a group. that would be more effective than whatever it is you're trying to do now.

LOL, that's niot a rebuttal either, what you just tried to do is field a faulty argument known as a red herring statement.
"i'm a little jealous of how pretty she is because i have clinical depression and i hate myself."
Stop, I'm not buying your self victimisation act, it's not an argument, either you can make a valid argument or you can't. I'm not one of these useful idiots you try this shit on on a regular basis to gain sympathy once you've made a stupid argument that's been decimated by a complete & utter refutation.
"but i don't think that selfies are art no matter who takes it and how pretty they are, hence the reason i said earlier that if i myself took a selfie and thought it looked pretty cute i still wouldn't consider it art."
And we've already demonstrated why what your opinion is is immaterial to the facts that it is in fact a type of artwork,. both as a subject matter (self portrait) & as a medium (photography).
"your reading comprehension skills are"
Above reproach, which is why every single point you've made has been addressed & refuted with style & elegance.
"i think you just like trying to act smarter than others so you can feel better about yourself, "
LOL no, I am smarter than others, the other in this case being you, demonstrated by how quickly you were outclassed in this conversation & how you are now stuck trying to save face by rapid firing logical fallacies hoping you'll find a way to squirm out of the fact you've failed to demonstrate your position.
"and you spend your free time trying to debunk strangers on pointless threads on an art website"
LOL, I'm sorry, are you really trying the "you are wrong because you are wasting your time commenting here" stratagem? I mean that wouldn't work as a strategy at the best of times, it's just another appeal to motive, but it really fails when we look at your comment count on this very image.
So now we've covered all of this, do you have an ACTUAL rebuttal to the fact that this image is indeed art, by both subject matter & medium? Or are you just done?

here are two definitions of the word "art":
"the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
Works produced by human creative skill and imagination."
these are the standards and definitions by which i perceive what "art" is. in this manner, i don't consider furry fat fetish drawings to be art, nor do i consider selfies art. your argument that selfies can be considered art because they're photos and therefore "photography" are valid, but art is not just the act of taking a picture of something or drawing something. art is a form of self-expression; a way to depict emotions or certain feelings, or represent ideas- none of which selfies do, unless genuine creativity and forethought were put into them, and there's nothing creative about looking into your camera lens with a blank stare.
so no, i don't think you're entirely wrong and i don't think you're entirely right. i do think you're pathetic, however, in how you choose to treat other people.
judging by your whole superiority complex and excessive desire to argue with people online i'm guessing you're the kind of person who didn't get much love or attention as a child. if that's the case, it's not entirely your fault you've turned out this way, but your entirely personality is like the equivalent of mildew- except angrier and mildew can actually be kind of tolerable.
there was no style or elegance in any of your replies. i actually just thought the whole time that your attempts to look good online were pathetic and, as mentioned earlier in this comment, probably indicative of an underlying problem.Β
self victimization? not really. i do have clinical depression, and the reason i brought is up was because you decided to make the topic about me by "dur hurr you're jealous lOl" so why not make it about myself more? i don't care if you feel bad for me, and i don't want you to feel bad for me. i simply confirmed what you had suspected. it's clear to me that you have no social skills at all and no idea how to successfully interact with other human beings- yeah, i looked at your profile and it seems you do this literally all the time.
so you lost this argument, and please seek help for your issues or have a doctor prescribe you some anger management medication. trust me, buddy, you need it.
