How to take pictures that sell – Fine Art Photography

Like the result very much. Good Job

What stop nd was he using?

a bit of a new comer here, but is it pronounced /go/ or /gof/ or /…/? 😀
cheers, enjoying the content, the art and insight.

I’ve always categorized Fine Art Photography as a series of work created by an artist (to be sold/exhibited) from a personal POV. Versus commercial — where the client (with their own vision in mind) commissions a photographer to create the work.

I suppose you’re correct though, that there isn’t any definitive description. Great video btw, thanks for sharing.

Chromatic aberration is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. It is caused by dispersion: the refractive index of the lens elements varies with the wavelength of light. The refractive index of most transparent materials decreases with increasing wavelength.

I think much of it is just pretentious bullsh@t.

Do you clean your own sensor?

Splendid education tutorial. Thank you VERY much. I have subscribed. You are wonderful.

Thank you Gary. that was brilliant

One of the most useful uploads on YT Gary thanks for sharing. I totally agree with you 100% on your interpretation on fine Art photography and your perception on what art is for that matter. Loved your image too, looks amazing. I would perhaps dedicate a lesser part of the image to the sky since the image is more about the structure and less about the sky but I totally get your perception and quite like it your way too. Needless to say I liked and subbed and also turned the bell notification icon to buzz.
Great stuff man thanks again and God bless.

Very nicely done. Plain and simple. Especially love the fact that you emphasize not to over processing. How true. Art is in the eye of the beholder and categories are just boxes we like to place things and people in for a myriad of reasons none of which I particularly subscribe to. Perhaps it provides some sense of order. You articulated your position well and presented a very simple and thoughtful work process. Thank you for sharing. 👌👌👌 I look forward to viewing future posts.

"Fine art refers to a skill used to express the artist's creativity, or to engage the audience's aesthetic sensibilities, or to draw the audience towards consideration of more refined or finer work of art." One must note that very little "fine art" is indeed "fine." Those that use the camera as the medium for the expression of their artistic creativity, who produce outcomes well beyond the mere recording of objective reality and in a manner attractive to those sensitive to aesthetic expression, may be considered fine artists.

Yes, you demonstrated a brand of fine art photography imo. But, art is only subjective to a point imho. If a 2 year old and a pro artist both draw a face to the best of their ability would you be able to guess which drawing belongs to who? So art imo can often be objective and sometimes people jump on the subjective bandwagon because they are falling short in their personal artistic development. If art was always subjective then where is the skill? Just get a camera, stick it on auto and click the shutter randomly, every photo will be subjective art? Nonsense. Fine art photography is an equally objective skill, it must be otherwise there would be no pro's in the field of fine art. Fine art photography is when the inner artist takes over the technical aspects and produces something surpassing the general photo. This is my opinion anyway.

Love the music, makes me feel your voice more deep. Great video.

Thank you!

Two things: (1) art isn't about selling anything, it's about making art and (2) photographers don't "take" pictures, they make them; they create pictures. Look up the definition of the word "take." It won't say anything about making or creating anything. To take is to acquire, seize, steal, appropriate, etc. Art isn't taken (unless you're an art thief), it's created.

Gary, I concur with your definition and others that have commented provide some good nuances to the definition of Fine Art. Thanks for sharing your creativity and insight from the camera through post-processing. I appreciate it.

Ich denke, das hängt auch von der Branche ab, in der man tätig ist bzw an wen man verkauft : manche vermarkten Fotos als Kunstdrucke, andere Fotografen sind reine Reporter.
