Indeed, but you can also do artistic work with EO (Media).

Trained Photography at TL5-7 includes darkroom work, which is more than Machine Operation (Cameras), but the situation isn't really satisfactory. One could always introduce a new Artist specialisation with a default to MO (Cameras), and that might be a better solution; I think there have been good artistic photographers who weren't technically skilful.
