"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.
