"Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what appears to be."
In my opinion this statement has some truth to it, but not completely. Some photography is exactly what it looks like. Usually this will apply to wildlife photography. These photographers don't have a hidden meaning behind their photos. There goal is more to capture the beauty and serenity of their surroundings. It's more based on what the human eye views as pretty, such as; sunsets and baby animals.
However other types of photography follow this statement down to the wire. There can be so much meaning behind a single snapshot, but the viewer has to be able to completely open their mind to see the possibilities. Some photographs are clearer to read than others, but it really depends on who the photographer is and what they are trying to get across. All photography is different, and that's what makes it so unique.
