Fine art photography is a form of photography created with the intention of expressing the artist's vision, emotions, or ideas, rather than solely capturing a realistic representation of the world. It focuses on aesthetics, composition, and creativity, transforming the medium into a means of personal expression and artistic exploration. Unlike commercial or documentary photography, which aims to inform or sell, fine art photography is driven by the artist's unique perspective and desire to provoke thought, evoke emotion, or challenge conventions.
