Q. What is the difference between fine art and regular photography?
A. Fine art photography seeks to bring out the best from the subject, more closely mimicking what the eyes can see that the lens may have missed in the split second it took the photo, between the lighting, posing, and editing. Get a feel for the basic differences in these sample images...
Image taken straight from a full frame camera with Art glass, "portrait" lens and professional lighting
Image that has received standard editing, typical result of a professional photographer
Fully mastered image in fine art style editing
Many say they prefer the fine art editing style because it most closely reflects the image of themselves that they want to share with the world. Fine art portraits also make great wall art that can be treasured for generations!
