Photography can been seen as a true picture though according the `Encyclopedie Francaise' any work of art reflects the personalty of the creator . Photographs record an image but not the original subject as seen by the naked eye.
The artist's sincerity is measured by his or her effort and sacrifice to the work of art where as in some cases the photographic image is produced with less effort and study of the subject.
Aesthete - one devoted to the principles of whatever is beautiful.
Pierre Bourdieu seems to be saying that in some aspects photography is a lower form of art - using a machine to obtain the desired effect. The camera is subordinate to the artist- but the outcome is without a doubt that photography fulfills the expectations that the working class seeks (could that not apply to any class of people?)
With the camera a photo can be taking instantly with the right conditions where as with a painting you have to sketch, note colours prepare canvas etc before you even begin to produce your painting.
