The article defined FAP as the creation of an image which represents something that exists only in the photographers mind. I like this definition as it seems to give free range to use my imagination to envision images and then attempt to create images. So HERE WE GO! The Sky is the limit.
It did not exist anywhere else but in my imagination before I created the images so it fits the definition. But is it Fine Art??????
I leave that decision to you Dear Reader.
From reading the definition it fits the bill 100%. Truly a unique creation and a story to boot.
ReplyDeleteI feel it would be presumptuous of me to declare myself to be a fine art photographer. Just because this type of image is entirely from my imagination and unique does not mean it is of a sufficient merit to be classed as Fine Art.Heather Burns became a member of the Guild of Photographers and submitted panels of images which led her to becoming a Member and latterly a Master Craftsman in two areas. She joined to be able to subject herself to Peer Review. Ricardas Miliusis the former TOG and Caroline Bridges are members. Both produce portraiture of the highest quality. I feel I need to develop my craft in the production of composites and in many other areas before I would consider putting myself forward for membership of the guild.
