My Chosen field of location photography

My chosen style of photography is Fine Art photography;
Fine art photography is imagery in the form of documentation of the ideas and imagination of photographer. Fine art can lay host to many different themes and styles of photography, all holding true to 2 components of the genre:

1) It is the photographers, scene, not a documentation of what is happening like that of photojournalism, but the documenting of exactly what is the photographer wants. Like a painted scene that does not exist, this is the documentation of the painters ideas, an example of a fine artist would be Salvador Dali: Dalis images are all creations of his imagination, impossible scenes in which he has formed based upon his dreams and imagination.
 2) Images of fine art are for the purpose of art and to be used in exhibition, they are not created with the idea of advertisiment, fashion or any other art themes but purely for the purpose of artists wants and for formal display.




'Fine art photography refers to photographs that are created in accordance with the creative vision of the photographer as artist. Fine art photography stands in contrast to photojournalism, which provides visual support for stories, mainly in the print media, and commercial photography, the primary focus of which is to sell products or services.'
