Description
A juried exhibit of fine art photographic works. Fine art photography is a type of photography that focuses on creating beautiful and artistic images rather than commercial or documentary purposes. It allows photographers to use their creative vision to evoke emotions, make people think, and convey specific ideas. Instead of simply showing what something looks like, fine art photography uses techniques like composition, lighting, and editing to create visually stunning and thought-provoking works of art. It covers many different subjects and encourages photographers to try different styles and viewpoints. Fine art photographers aim to make people feel something, challenge conventions, tell stories, and invite viewers to think deeply about their photographs. It’s a way for photographers to express their artistic vision and explore the possibilities of photography as an art form.
