Fine Art Photography goes beyond mere documentation to convey emotion, mood, and the intangible essence of the subject. It is a blend of artistic vision and technical skill, focusing on creating images that are both aesthetically pleasing and thought-provoking.
Hand-coloring is a special skill that involves the subtle application of oil paint, using toothpicks wrapped in thin pieces of cotton, to a Fine Art black & white museum print and creating a look that gives the image a timeless quality.
A documentary style of photography, there is minimal posing - simply a capturing of important moments as they unfold. Perfect opportunities for this are elegant dinner parties, special events, and private gatherings where an unobtrusive photographer is essential.
The Fine Art hand-colored images you will see here were published by Kunst Graphics of Switzerland and produced as posters and postcards with wide distribution throughout Europe and the United States.
The single black-and-white image was published by King Publishing as a poster, and widely distributed in the United States by Bruce McGraw Graphics of New York.
