How would you define beauty in photography: Capturing someones emotions or being able to create a feeling when looking at the photo. Also by creating a story in the photo by using the surroundings.
What are characteristics of photographic beauty: Good composition, captures emotion, tells a story, unique, good detail, and a unique perspective
can something ugly be photographed and be considered beautiful: Yes, because if you capture it correctly or at the right angle, with the right kind of lighting you can make something ugly beautiful. An example would be the project where students took pictures of dog poop.
