What is "Photo-Secession"?
Photo-Secession was a photographic movement that began in the early 20th century, mainly in the United States. Started by Alfred Stieglitz and his colleagues, it aimed to raise photography to the level of fine arts by focusing on artistic creativity and personal ideas. The movement aimed to move away from traditional, everyday photography and the usual methods of the time. People associated with photo-secession focused on capturing images that were visually impressive and emotionally interesting, using new techniques to create photographs that were seen as more artistic and meaningful. Their work had an important role in making photography a respected art form and influencing the development of modern photography.
