"Now That I’m There,
What’s Next? 
Making Fine Art Nature Photographs"

by: Joe Lefevre

www.joelefevrephoto.com

Email:

lefevrephoto@yahoo.com

Fine art photography is a broad topic, which can be defined in a number of different ways. In my mind, a fine art photograph is one that is technically sound, but whose primary purpose is to elicit an emotional response from the viewer by make a strong artistic statement.  I believe that there are three key ingredients to making fine art photographs, all of which must be present for an image to be successful.  They are artistic vision, technical proficiency, and fine light.  In this presentation I will cover these three areas of fine art photography as it applies to nature and landscape images.  Whether you shoot with a digital or a film camera, you will benefit from this on-location approach to making successful nature photographs.
