What Is It Really?

T

he phrase “Fine Art Portrait Photography” is in dire need of clarification. I see hundreds of ads and websites using this phrase and none of them fit my definition. Most are describing what I would call “head shots.”

These are mostly straight-on, evenly lit head and shoulder images that are used for job applications, business cards or social media. The official definition is as follows: A fine art portrait photograph is intended for wall art. ... Fine art portrait photography delivers maximum impact and depicts emotion in a vivid and distinctive style. These portraits are timeless and capture the essence of the subject’s character in a vision created by the photographer.

Fine art photography is photography created in accordance with the vision of the artist as a photographer, using photography as a medium to bring something to life that only lives in the artist’s mind. Simply capturing what one sees in an artistic way is the art of photography and not creating fine art.

Before I became a photographer, I was exposed to the paintings and portrait work of the Dutch Old Masters Vermeer and Rembrandt. These Baroque painters focussed on painterly application of light and shadow.

photographed Melody in our home studio setting against a neutral background. We selected a timeless image of an English pub window for a “period” look and blended them together. It certainly is worth more attention than a photo of someone standing by the picnic table in the backyard, squinting into the sun.

Imagine this on fine art stock, matted and framed. Or on canvas or even a 24x36 acrylic print. And, we can help you with period gowns and other costumes for a fantasy look. Because of our relationship with The Wick theater, we have access to thousands of wardrobe costumes from Broadway shows, whicih can be rented for a special potoshoot.

A timeless scene like this also works with a simple black cocktail dress and large floppy hat.

Looking for a more masculine option? We can put you in front of an exotic sports car or airplane. The options are endless. Call 954-295-2154 to set a no-obligation consultation.
