There is nothing more exciting than decorating your new home or rearranging a few things to give that fresh feel of newness to a home you have been living in for awhile. While artwork can be rather expensive, there is something to be said for fine art nature photography to personalize your home.
Whether you are going for an everyday country comfort feel or something elegant and high class, there is a way to use nature photography to get exactly what you want from every room of your home.
Play With Color
Fine art nature photography that features imagery of nature can vary from bright bursts of color to muted shades of gray, black, white, and brown. This gives great versatility if you like to play with color within a room to get dramatic effects.
If you are using one or two primary colors to decorate a room, you will likely need some sort of accent color to complete the entire picture. Fine art photography can add those dashes of accent color, or simply be used to draw out accents placed elsewhere in the room.
You can also pick art photography that coordinates perfectly with your primary colors, or choose images with bright splashes of color to set off a room with duller colors. When the right colors are chosen and placed in just the right spot, your entire home can be set off in beautiful ways.
Incorporate Themes
It is extremely fun to incorporate themes into some rooms of the home, especially playrooms or bedrooms for your children. Art studios and other rooms used for recreation and hobbies are also great targets for fun themes.
Fine art nature photography is the perfect way to pull a theme together. In fact, some prints can completely set the theme for the entire room, allowing you to play with the color patterns in the photos to draw the entire room together.
For instance, fine art nature photography featuring baby deer in high grass can be the basis for an adorable and rather unique bedroom for a growing child. It may bring to mind Bambi and other Disney features which children of today as well as yesterday continue to adore.
Water is another theme that can be incorporated for an elegant feel. Fine art nature photography featuring oceans, rivers, or water calmly running over pebbles or smooth stones can make quite a dramatic effect with tabletop water features and fish tanks placed strategically in the same room.
Create a Focal Point
Selecting the right piece of fine art nature photography and using it as a larger framed print can create a focal point that draws the eye of anyone entering the room. This is great if you want to bring attention to one area of the room, or if there are other areas of the room that you need to distract attention away from.
When using fine art nature photography as a focal point, make sure it is something eye catching. It should be extraordinarily beautiful, or perhaps so odd no one can look away after noticing it.
Adding fine art nature photography into your home is fun and can be much less expensive than trying to purchase paintings and other mediums of art. They can also be combined with all other mediums of art to create dramatic effect, including sculptures and watercolor prints.

Photography Business - Defining Fine Art Photography
Fine art photography, by definition, are the photos that express an artist's creative vision. This is quite the opposite of photojournalism and commercial photography business. You've got a very clear objective with those commercial images: to sell a product or service. Then, photojournalism is necessary for any sort of magazine that utilizes documentaries. None of these really define what fine art photography is.
There are some genres that define this type of photography, and they include natural landscapes, portraits and nudes. Nowadays, there are far more exhibitions of this kind of photography arranged and organized than before. It is becoming quite a trend to use prints and frames for too. Many studios now display these photos without directly on boards without glass. Depending on the purpose and the theme of the stills, the scale of the prints may vary significantly.
One can't simply ignore the beauty of such photography. In very artistic displays, photographs can be staged and lit so a new dimension is added to the photographer's vision. With the introduction of full spectrum photography for electronic cameras, improvement in aesthetic refinery has been achieved. So much can be accomplished with an easy filtering of visible, infrared and ultraviolet light.
Many options are available now in terms of photo-shooting models and printing capabilities. It's quite amazing that a lot of fine art photography items sell in auction rooms every year (not to mention for very high prices too!). While many still don't go for this type of photography, the collector's market is very active here. A lot of cultural events and shows include this type of photography.
Also, this type of photography may stand in opposition with commercial or home photography business and photojournalism, but somehow it owes them a lot. At times, the separation lines between the various models can be identified barely. We see this taking place each day with some of the photos and stills we admire in magazines as they are designed to be both artistic and commercial.

Photography Tips - Journalism Or Artwork? What Are You Taking Photos For?
Photography has so many different uses, but in this article I wanted to write about one use that is commonly overlooked, photography as a creative art. Photography as a creative art is not new. In fact, while not common knowledge (perhaps intentionally) many of the old masters of painting used photography when it was new and people had to hold poses for a long time yet they used photography for their creative art process from paintings of dancers to self portraits, many painters used photos that they took and those taken by others to help them create works of art.
Since then photography has gone to color and the quality has increased dramatically. Instead of only using photography as a reference for painting or drawing, it can also be used today for art. Lenses can be added on pro cameras, and even your consumer digital cameras of today are many times better than what was available just five years ago. I bet many old master painters would also have also done photography if our technology had existed then.
The general public normally thinks of photography as a way to document life's events and happenings (In fact, I know of quite a few painters who feel that way too). It is great to take photos of birthdays, Christmas parties, weddings, baptisms, public celebrations, and family vacations. Yes, you were there because we see you in front of that monument, but what about the beauty of the monument as it is? Those who say photography cannot be an art make me wonder. I will just have to say that they probably have not tried very hard. There of course is nothing wrong with using photography as a way to document events both important and daily, but there is no reason to make that the only and exclusive use for a photo.
Creating art with photographs involves a different perspective and to get the most benefit you should decide before you take a photo what your goal is. If your purpose of the photo shoot is to document then ask yourself who, what, when, where, why, and how as in normal reporting. Try to get the photo to reflect those concepts of the event. In artistic photography you need to check the focus, lighting, feeling, colors, etc. Artistic photography does not need to imitate nature. It is not cheating.
Just as a painter can ignore parts of what he sees when painting so can you as an artistic photographer edit out or modify what you want. Why should you give yourself less freedom to use the tools at your disposal? A painter paints with a brush or palette knife and paint, a photographer artist creates art with light and a lens!

Give Fine Art Photography For An Original Christmas Gift
Fine art photography prints make ideal Christmas presents for someone special. Black and white photography will complement any home interior and it is a popular choice to choose giclee prints on canvas, or as an alternative, a black and white framed poster.
A perfect original Christmas gift for a special lady or a lover of flowers, is a stunning photography print of perhaps a Calla Lily which stands out magnificently against a black background, and which shows the intricate details of this beautiful flower. Or perhaps a matching pair of canvas giclee prints, one showing the beauty of a single iris, and the other showing a trio of irises in all their elegance, the highlights in the long, graceful leaves being shown to their best advantage against a black background.
This is the beauty of black and white photography. It gives so much atmosphere and emotion to an image. It brings mystery and intrigue to artwork which is portrayed differently to that of color. Shadows and tones give a whole new dimension to a subject, whether it is a floral composition, an arranged group of objects or just a single stem highlighted against a dark background. A series of black and white still life fine art prints will create a timeless elegance in any home interior, whether you are aiming for a classic or contemporary style.
When planning the decor of a room and considering the desired effect, imagine how fine art will look when included, and how it will complement and bring together the total theme of the interior. Framed art prints of plants or individual flowers would look interesting when on a wall in a conservatory in amongst indoor plants, or hung above a piece of furniture on which a vase of flowers is placed.
For any art lover, a set of signed posters from a favorite artist is a cherished gift, as well as being highly collectible. Black and white photography prints make a valuable personal gift for birthdays or Christmas and are especially suitable for house-warming presents. What better way to celebrate a new home than with a giclee print or framed fine art photography print which you know will complement their surroundings and will be much appreciated. Photography prints also make interesting greetings cards for any occasion.
Giclee prints are available in various sizes and finishes on canvas, and because of the high quality of the inks used in the process, the prints will last for generations. As the canvases are deep-edged, they can be hung unframed with either blank edging (museum wrap), or with the image stretched around the edges (gallery wrap).
Color and composition play a large part in home design. The choice of fine art for any interior is a personal taste, but so many different effects can be achieved by using different frames, a mix of framed and unframed prints, changing the position of a group of pictures on the wall, or by mixing a few other pictures in with the ones you already have. Why not buy yourself a present of a print you have fallen in love with, or maybe for your loved one, if it holds special memories and will remind you both when you look at it.
