Photography is an art form

Hello, debaters. The resolution is as follows: "Photography is an art form." By "photography," I mean "the process of producing images of objects on photosensitive surfaces," and by "art form," I mean "the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect the senses or emotions." As is customary in any philosophical debate, the definitions of these terms are not fixed. They are open to discussion and change. Pro's position must prove that photography fulfills the necessary and sufficient conditions of something being a form of art. Con's position must prove that photography does not meet these requirements and is something else besides art. For the sake of fairness, I would prefer the Contender merely accept the debate and that we begin making arguments in Round Two. Let's have a civil and productive argument.
