Photography comes down to one word and that is "VISION".
You can call it vision, imagination, or seeing, it all comes down to the same thing and that is the ability to envision a final result in your mind's eye and then to make it so with your tools at hand.
It is always been about seeing something, knowing how you want it to look, and making it so. Making it so is the easy part,seeing it in the first place is what makes a photographer. Powers of observation are everything, snapping a camera is trivial.Photography and painting are the same. Each renders imagination in tangible form. The difference is that painters can work completely from imagination, although most of us work from life as a starting point. Both can take lifetimes to master the tools to render imaginations exactly as we intend.
Photographs are visual artwork and they take something ordinary and elevate it to a position of honour.
