Fine art photography contrasts against representational photography, such as photojournalism.
It combines photography and conceptual ideas as a process. This is where the artist or photographer tries to express their perceptions and emotions. These are then shared with others.
Commercial photography is not equal to fine art photography. Even though both sets of images are saleable, fine art photography is not commissioned, while commercial photography is.
This is not to say that fine art does not overlap documentary photography. It’s hard to draw a line between genres. It’s also hard to decide what can be considered as a fine art photography project. Most of the times we say that a fine art photography project has a conceptual background. And it’s also acclaimed by viewers, practitioners, and the art world.
The concepts seem to come from different places and the end result is often different. Even if the processes are the same.
