Dear all,
I would imagine that the question is provoked by a naïve idea of the photographer as a mere point and shoot capturer of what already exists. Photographers, however, are involved in the world in many ways both socially and materially. And this involvement is typically intentional. So, I would see photographing pretty much designing for the purposes that photographers work for.
Kind regards,

Is there some particular characteristic of photography of the various disciplines within Art & Design that provokes the question? I would be happy to attempt an answer but it wouldn't describe activities very different from other areas of 2-dimesional design- vision, intent, judgement, composition, structure etc etc (and of course it depends on which particular definition of 'design' you are using).
