To add art to photography, look for photos in a genre that has an artistic element such as ballet or dance. Then look at other photographers' work and dissect it - consider the angle, lighting, subject, context, and narrative. Art means different things to different people, so find inspiration from photo sharing apps like Flickr and Instagram and try to understand the thinking behind the shot.

The first step to being creative in your photography (adding art) is to pause and consider the photographic intention. Who is this for, where will the photo end up? Then, you can start to think about narrative and composition. When do you position yourself, the main visual anchor, supporting contextual elements and how do you edit the photos to enhance the visual flow and viewer experience.
