With this photo that I took, my wife sees two dogs kissing and said that it's so cute. I see what she sees, but what's dominant to me is the negative space. I see a small headed human that I cannot distinguish as a definite female or male. To me, it feels like a form in a painting representing human. But it looks cool, to me!
What is observed differs from one to another because everyone is different, no two are alike, not even twins. It's mind boggling to think that there are 8.3 billion people in the world and no two are alike.
So, we categorize by beliefs, like religion, something we can share in our thoughts.
In art, we have movements like the renaissance, impressionism, cubism and so on. Within these movements, we have artists as an individual. There, we begin to see individual styles. Styles of the master can be similar to another but are unique, that's why he or she is called a master. And again, no two masters are alike. Kandinsky and Miro's art are similar but completely different. Picasso's work in cubism is similar to George Braque, yet, they are different.
In photography, there was a man named Henry Cartier Bresson. In my opinion, before digital came about, everyone in the world of photography is a student of him. And Ansel Adam's came along putting printing into an art form creating the zone system.
In digital age, everyone became artists with a cellphone in their hands. Science changes as the technology develops into the unknown territories.
Popular format "selfies" has somehow become a silly genre of choice for these novices now days.
And I wonder, WTF! It's a photo that covers the face with the camera! What's the point?

We have become so massively stupid as to how we perceive that it's just became a norm. We've become stupid and stupider. In a portrait, most important element are the eyes. The eyes reveal person's character or personality. The eyes speak. If you cover up your face looking at the phone, what's the point of your photograph?
What's your point? To say that you're so beautiful without showing who you are?
It's like a blind leading another blind. You just follow what famous faces do. You already know the faces of the famous people so when they take a selfie with camera blocking their faces, you know who they are and you think I can do that, too. What famous people do is they just make you stupider to make more money for themselves. Not Elon Musk famous, more like Hollywood famous. They need your stupidity so they can make more money. As simple as that.
