PG : Mark Kelly – Fine Art Photography … many examples of before/after and thought processes
Oct 13 @ 7:30 pm

What is Fine Art Photography?

It can be tricky to put your finger on a fine art photography definition. For instance, there’s often a fine line between commercial photography and photography art. There are also conflicting definitions on how to do fine art photography that make it even harder to nail down what constitutes a fine art photo. But let’s give it a shot.

It Starts With a Vision

One fine art photography definition: fine art photography involves bringing a vision to life. It involves creating something that previously only lived in your mind, as opposed to simply capturing what you see in an artistic way. It’s a way to express your emotions and the way you see the world—and to share it with others.

Tonight we have one of our regular presenters , Mark Kelly, who will give us many examples of before and after  an image is taken and presented.
