Fine art photography refers to photographs that are created to fulfill the creative vision of the artist. Fine art photography stands in contrast to photojournalism and commercial photography.
The world is brimming with moments of emotion and meaning that are able to be captured through the lens of a camera. For example, through this subtractive process of selecting subjects from the world, the photographer chooses exactly how subjects interact, how they are placed in context to the shape of the photograph, and how they are portrayed their surroundings. Through creative combination of these methods, the photographer can convey emotions or abstract ideas. In a visual composition, be it a photograph or a painting, one can utilize the elements of design in a way that can be compared to language. The elements of design are our visual vocabulary. Color, line, form, shape, value, and texture make up the elements of design. Balance, gradation, repetition, depth, contrast, dominance and unity make up some of the principles of design.
