Fine art photography / or Artistic Photography

Fine art photography / or Artistic Photography

I've always struggled to work out what "Fine art photography" meant beyond elusive photographers who charged loads for crisp imaginative images you might not see in real life.

So spent a few months dipping in an out of the idea and looking at definitions - one main compelling definition i had was images that sell commercially for the impact, resonance, awe or beauty they contained.

However I've now widened my definition to include images that also don't sell - lets call that just Art photography!

I'll start with my own anti-definition - artistic photography excludes just recording what's there in a journalistic sense.
Now have a personal definition - using photography with its staging, lighting & post processing to convey a subjective visualization of something i want to create - perhaps with impact, resonance, awe or beauty.
I contrast this with other definitions google offers:
- Fine art photography is photography created in accordance with the vision of the artist as photographer.
- Fine art photography is a relatively new form of artistic expression. Compared to the time-honored mediums of painting and sculpture

So adding these perhaps my FAP definition should typically have a certain timeless expression that transends POP culture.

Stretching my personal definition further to include some of my own images which today i'm calling Artistic Photography - such as this waterfall one
I'd not include my 'street' photographs, nor yet my most of my portrait photos as they are just people - apart from perhaps this one as it was staged for a particular look. I'm also now assuming FAP people portraits would typically not look into the camera.
However some landscapes or architecture might start to creep into the Artistic category.

I'd be very happy for your opinion around this area.

Now the litmus test - can i take any FAP style photo's in the next month with my available time / opportunities?
