Warhol told the ordinary elements of life and proved them to be art, frequently through his silk screening techniques. He made films and took photographs, many of which entailed people who were members of his 'factory' as well as those he admired or were enamoured with.
Warhol was fascination with artist Joseph Beuys, while Beuys was rather unimpressed with Warhol. This is an example of both his photography and silk screening prints.

"Photography: To produce his silkscreens, Warhol made photographs or had them made by his friends and assistants. These pictures were mostly taken with a specific model of Polaroid camera that Polaroid kept in production especially for Warhol. This photographic approach to painting and his snapshot method of taking pictures has had a great effect on artistic photography. His late oeuvre contains black and white photos sewn together."

Yes, he was. He did a whole series of photographs that were printed in negative, the most famous of which (largely because of its mention in F. Jameson's "Postmodernism, or The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism") is "Diamond Dust Shoes." He also took hundreds upon hundreds of polaroids later in his career.

warhol didn't really show his photos as art. he used a polaroid camera as the source for some of his silk screens. most of the portraits and self portraits he did came from polaroids that he took. i worked at an art gallery once that had an exhibit of his portraits. i don't think you will find any of his photos displayed as art.
