Fine Art

[jvgig]

I think fine art photography encompasses all ranges of styles and images that have enough visual impact to hold their own against the image next to it. If image A holds more attention, then A will remain on the wall and image B will be sent to the basement. Fine art is whatever remains on the wall*.


*the wall must be solely used for the judging of such art and it does not need to be a physical wall, such that an internet gallery would qualify as well.

I have this one friend who defines fine art photography like this.
ahem.
"Gray scale anything."

Fine art is art that has no other function or purpose except to be aesthetically pleasing. The word "fine" does not refer to quality or value, it refers to the purity of the activity.

I thought a photograph was fine art if it was bigger than A3 and printed on paper heavier than 300gsm.
