I have a dilemma.

In "compositive" arts, such as painting, writing fiction, music... every creation reflects a point of view, a whole new world to interact with.
In photography, you can either try to reflect reality (albeit not exempt of subjectivity) through, for example, street photography. Or you can compose a scene - such as model shootings (which I don't know where the spontaneity is) or entirely made up scenery (see >>2689254). Which I find nice to see, but still.

The question is : if photography isn't about transcribing reality (once again, I understand it can be done with subjectivity), isn't it just a weak technique for composing art ? What value does it have ?

I'm not trying to bait btw, I'm just having a dilemma as a /p/haggot.
