Photography is another form of fine art. Many forms of art are distinguished by their craftsmanship, and while photography may not fall into the same category as handmade art objects, it does require an artistic spirit, vision, skill, and an eye for detail.
Photographic art may be in the form of traditional black and white or color prints, multi-color presentations, or color masks. Photography utilizes a variety of tools and methods to achieve truly unique and beautiful representations of people, places, objects, landscapes and nature as a whole, including Polaroid, typical film, and digital photography.
In the past, some people believed that being photographed captured a piece of the soul. In a way, it makes sense because high quality photography does capture the very essence of a person, emotion, image, or scene, and is used to send a message or to tell a story.
Photomontage, photojournalism, and photographic documentaries are frequently used to depict things that words alone simply cannot do not justice. That's where we get the adage, "a picture is worth a thousand words." In fact, sometimes photography without narration is the most powerful.
Fine art photography may be formal or casual. It is the skillful, clever, and creative use of camera and film, often many different types, to develop stylistic graphic and abstract images as well as realistic depictions of the world around us. Often times unseen, the beauty of this world is captured and shared. Photographic artists produce provocative and intriguing images that are regularly sought after and frequently become collectable.
