I'd go along with that. I think that 'Art Photography' or 'Photography as
Art' starts when the concept/idea/message is considered before the making of
the picture, (not always conciously for every image), but the artist has a
vision and is trying to express that.
Most photography presents a picture which has no thought conciously applied
to it.
