refers to photographs that are created to the photographers appeal. Art photography can be as wacky as you want. Even unrealistic.
Application
Art photography started around the 1800's. Ansel Adams was one of the most popular art photographers of our time with some amazing work. He used many different genres of photo styles such as:
- Nude
- Portraits
- Natural Landscapes
here is an example of his work -

| Natural Landscape |
Ansel Adams mainly did lanscape work and would show these in different ways such as books and galliries. He was very known for his black and white photography. Adams used a Korona camera with most of his work, this allowing him to capture images in good quality. Adams has some very famous photos such as 'moonlight' which was captured only weeks before the attacks on Pearl Harbour. His work is historic and allows you too see things that he witnessed.
Context
Art Photography can be found and viewed in many different places all over the world.
- Billboards
- Newspapers
- Magazines
- TV
- Internet
- Books
- Galleries, etc
Most people will also have canvas photos/painting hung around their homes. Landscape is probably one of the most popular types of art photography.
Techniques
This type of photography has an endless number of different techniques because it is all based on the photographers personal taste. He/she can choose to have whatever they wish in their photo and can make it seem as real or unreal as they want. The type of camera used isn't really a big deal as photographers could easily change what they wanted shown in their pictures, but digital cameras would probably be the easiest for this.
