It all depends on perspective and skill. Simply put the subject might be bad but if the photographer is skilled enough, It can be beautiful as well. Depends on experience too.

Beauty is relative. A good photographer can transform something ugly into a beautiful art.

I agree with you. Especially if the photo was captured by a creative person who can bring that beauty that’s hidden.

It is true but it is tricky to capture. You need to be very creative in order for you to capture the beauty that you see and let your audience see it too.

Anything can be be beautiful with camera lens and technology. It is just a matter of post processing and photography skills.
