They need to have strong organization and design. They need to have impact. They need to be an expression of the artist s individual creativity. They need to be memorable. It is a tall order, but don t allow this task to overwhelm you.
Many photographers describe themselves as fine art photographers.
This expression has now become a buzzword that means very little. If they see one photographer doing one technique, soon their work becomes peppered with poor copies of another s creativity. It is even sadder when you hear of photography teachers encouraging their students to think in this way, instead of placing the emphasis on their pleasure, their unique creativity and the expression of their inner feelings. So many of the people we now consider masters in the creative visual art world, worked against the popular trends of their day. Few artists of this caliber were successful in their own time.
