About the artwork

Fineart photography is an impressive art form that gives photographers the opportunity to represent reality in a creative and aesthetic way. This unique discipline is about creating photographs that are more than just images of objects or scenes. Fineart photography requires the ability to master light, composition and emotional depth to create images that tell a story and captivate the viewer.

Unlike purely documentary photography, fineart photography aims to create works of art that are often abstract, surrealistic or highly stylised. Photographers use various techniques such as long exposure, post-processing and artistic staging to realise their visions. This allows the boundaries between photography and painting to blur, leading to fascinating results.

Fineart photography can be practised in a variety of genres, from portraits to landscapes to still lifes. It allows photographers to express their creativity and create unique works that are often recognised as works of art. This form of photography is not just about depicting reality, but reinterpreting and transforming it to trigger a profound emotional resonance in the viewer.

All photographs are taken in full-frame format (Leica), thus enabling the reproduction of the finest details and the realisation of prints in an appealing size.

For this picture I recommend printing on AluDibond under acrylic. The picture is not bulky on the wall, it is protected, torsion-resistant and the contrasts come out wonderfully.
