Photography and Painting are the most basic forms that are used by man. You can capture an image with photograph but can you do the same picture in painting?

First, some observations regarding craftsmanship. There is virtually no comparison between what constitutes the elements of craftsmanship between the two disciplines. Why compare painting and photograph? A journey through arts and justice between the Medias. Photographers and Painters respect each other and represent images through the imagination of the artist and they have history that is the most primitive form of art. Photography especially has been newcomer

From the other hand it is discussed that photographs are much harder to capture and perceive a photographer’s style.

The bonds that tie the visual arts among them, especially painting and photography, cannot break no matter how the artists are trying themselves. Another report of the Metropolitan Museum of New York which marks the completion of a market's new acquisitions for the completion of the section Photo Foundation, again raises an old question without adequate response to date: The two arts complement each other, or simply reflect a similar intake of the world at a particular time by other means?
