'Fine art' photography can be defined by what it is not. It is not documentary, photo-journalism, product, wedding or some kinds of portrait photography.
It is photography that exists simply to express the photographer's creativity and to produce an image that is pleasing either to the photographer, the viewer, or both.
Point. But what is Good? And how can you tell which good is right?
The all knowing Wikipedia version:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_art
this sums it up well... self expression.
But therin lies the problem. What you call fine art photography can be all that if the photographer wishes to express himself so. The problem comes from the problem of defining art itself. What is art? Why is a hoover in a gallery a piece of art and outside it's just a hoover? Why is a piece of canvas with blue paint by Yves Klein art and when I do it it's just a piece of canvas with blue paint?
We don't really know. That's the whole problem. And it's up to you as a viewer to define for yourself if you think it is art or not. Because if you do then it is. For you.
Its primary purpose is not a means to an end, the photograph *is* the end.
your photograph or photography becomes fine art when enough people call it as such.
