To me, an artist is to have a creative outlook on anything. This includes anything from everyday life to niche things or even expressing your emotions. Using those ideas, we can create art from it. We use our imagination and perspective to create what we want. Our perspective might not align with others, but it is our vision that causes us to be an artist. Even if others might not like how it looks, at least it’s appealing to you. You can communicate how you feel just through a photograph. If others appreciate your art, you can create more, but even if you do, it is still art. Being an artist is to improve over time, take criticism from others, and try to use that advice but keep your style.
