Art Photography

Art photography does not have a strong definition. This is true for just about everything in the realm of "art." Of course, it can help to consider it in contrast with other forms of photography.

It is helpful to examine art photography in contrast to photojournalism and commercial photography. Photojournalism deals with providing visuals to supplement a story- often a news article of some sort. Commercial photography deals with selling or promoting a product or campaign.

Art photography operates as the creation of an artist or group of artists. The reasons for which people choose to use photography as an art form vary just as much as the reasons why people paint. Also, the methods used to create artistic photographs vary. For instance, some people are interested in discovering good shots while others meticulously stage their works.
