The elements of fine art photography. The seven basic elements of fine art:

created by the photographic artist with an aesthetic vision, an idea, a message and emotion. Working with space, balance, form, size, depth, colour, texture and above all... light.   Knowledge and awareness of these elements is essential to the success of a composition, in order to convey the meaning of photographic art.  With a deep understanding of the elements of fine art, sought-after fine art photographers create works as high-quality archival prints, in strictly limited editions, for the collector and for a growing market.

Furthermore — fine art photography is photography made in line with the photographer’s vision as an artist, using photography as a medium for creative expression. The aim of art photography is to express an idea, a message or an emotion. It is clear that a carefully composed, lit, focused and captured image has an inherent artistic value. As a medium, photography can give reality a new context and meaning. Messages and symbolism can be conveyed through the presentation of a still image.   The juxtaposition of visual elements can take on a new value when they are frozen in time as a photograph. All the almost infinite photographic variables and possibilities make it clear that photography is art!
