When a painter stands in front of a blank canvas, the issue is, what to put in.
When a photographer stands in front of a scene, the issue is, what to leave out.
The camera, by default, puts everything in. Even the most dedicated photorealist painter can't put everything in.
In the olden times, photographers had to "leave stuff out" by varying the field of view, changing the lens, moving the camera around or cropping after the fact.
With Photoshop, photographers have more freedom in leaving stuff out. Each new iteration of Photoshop provides more sophisticated tools to accomplish this. Below, the original version of the above photo.
