About fine art photography

Fine art photography is made to be displayed and contemplated, like a painting. The original dates from 1999. Fine art photography values the photographer’s vision as much as the subject in front of the lens. A fine art photograph is composed, printed and displayed with the same care as a painting. Many celebrated photographers printed their own work in the darkroom, treating each print as a finished artwork. Matte paper suits photographs especially well, keeping blacks deep and highlights soft.

Styling this fine art photograph

This fine art photograph combines an elegant feel, a black-and-white palette and a focus on animals. Hang “Horse 13” at eye level, about 57 inches (145 cm) to its centre, in a bedroom; 18×24″ is a versatile size for most walls. The monochrome tones of “Horse 13” sit happily with warm or cool interiors alike; try a slim black frame with a generous white mat. “Horse 13” also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller black-and-white pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps. Keep “Horse 13” out of strong direct sunlight to protect its colours.
