Fine Art Photography

from “Photography Life”…

 Fine art photography is first and foremost about the artist.
It is not about capturing what the camera sees, it’s about capturing what the artist sees.
In fine art photography therefore, the artist uses the camera as one more tool to create a work of art.
The camera is used to make an art piece that reveals the vision of the artist and makes a statement of that vision rather than documenting the subject before the lens.

So, a fine art photograph must go beyond the literal representation of a scene or subject.
It must deeply express the feelings and vision of the photographer and clearly reveal that it was created by an artist and not by just the camera.
It must be clear that it involved an original, deliberate creation and that every aspect of making the photograph
in the field and in the photographer’s post-processing digital studio, including the printing, are an individual expression from within the artist.

Art implies control of reality, for reality itself possesses no sense of the aesthetic. Photography becomes art when certain controls are applied.
— Ansel Adams
