INTIMATE FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY

FINE ART PORTRAIT vs PORTRAIT COUTURE
Some non-exclusive characteristics of Fine Art Photography include the following: explicit editing and manipulation of a subject; it makes an artistic statement; and the work is created purely for its aesthetic or imaginative nature.
In fine Art, the photographer is the artist, and the recording of the subject is not the main purpose. Making an artistic statement is. A fine art portrait image is created by the photographer as an artist and not just by the camera. The photographer’s vision is central to the resulting shot.
A fine art portrait photograph is intended for wall art. It can sometimes be described as "décor photography" or "photo décor." This style of photography stands in contrast to documentary-style photojournalism in which subjects and events are captured to represent reality.
PORTRAIT COUTURE
Portrait photography is all about technically perfect compasion. It’s a skill that requires patience and practice. Bringing out a person’s character in front of the camera, without them reverting to a "photo face," is the essence of good portrait photography. A portrait photograph isn’t a candid shot. It’s carefully planned and rehearsed. The outfit, the props, the location, the angle of the shot, and the pose are all prepared before the shoot.
