A painter commands the painting after the first brush stroke; the painter makes the painting. A chef commands the meal after they combine the first ingredients; the chef makes the meal. You don't command the camera after you press the shutter release; the camera makes the photo.
I get where you're coming from. I suspect your photography is about making quick snaps, perhaps with an iPhone, and believe that making a compelling photograph begins and ends when you press the button to make a snap - and that your camera does all the work producing that snapshot. And that's fine.
But... most serious photographers who take their craft seriously would strongly disagree. Recongnizeing the time put in
before and after the shutter is released, including the great amount of time put into post-processing or in the darkroom to make a negative or image file into a strong photograph that speaks to and moves viewers. That's what you're ignoring.
If you want to, I suggest studying, and
reading about, the work of Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton, William Eggleston,Robert Frank, Sally Mann, Dianne Arbus, Platon, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Arnold Newman, Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams, Sebastiao Salgado, Henri Cartier Bresson, Robert Maplethorp, Yasumasa Morimoto, Andre Kertez, Gregory Crewdson, and on and on and on.
Not a single one of those photographers, or anyone one else producing strong photographs would say their camera made their photographs. Perhaps you're a technician or engineer and have never take your photography beyond making snapshots, and instead rely on pedantic notions of what
makes a great image - a camera, which of course is merely a tool.
Take the time to learn from the above artists and experts. There's a lot more to photography than simply making snapshots by pressing a button.
