In the contemporary art field, fine art photography gained more and more territory with its diverse approach to subject matter. From landscapes, animal portraits, cityscapes and buildings, to people in various hypostases and abstract compositions, photography started to be included in art exhibitions and galleries, gaining popularity with art admirers.
Interior designers love photography as it is a versatile decorative element suitable for modern, contemporary, minimalist and other interior styles like New England for example. A collection of small photographs framed in various styles and colours, can add a touch of personality to any interior. Black and white or sepia can complement a minimalist style as well as a monochromatic colour scheme.
Alternatively, a big size photograph could be the centerpiece of a living room, creating harmony with other decorative elements. Images of old buildings and flowers, especially roses, will look great in a Shabby Chic interior while landscapes and animal portraits will complement a traditional style room.
If you want to start your own photography collection, you can either buy images that are most appealing to you and reflect your personality, or you can acquire artworks by popular photography artists as an investment for the future. No matter what your approach is, at Art2Arts we have a great collection of fine art photography by both emerging and established artists. The images are normally limited editions prints and are numbered and signed by the artists.
Seascapes, landscapes and floral scenes are very popular in exhibitions and with collectors as they are scenes of specific places that a buyer can relate to. Whether it reminds you of the place you grew up in, a memorable holiday or the place that you would like to visit one day, such photographs will complement any interior, be that traditional or modern. They are also suitable for holiday accommodations, B&Bs and office premises.
Old abandoned buildings and old vehicles that slowly are starting to be reclaimed by nature are popular subjects for photographers. Such images are mysterious suggesting the frailty of time. They evoke not so distant memories while showing how quickly things deteriorate when abandoned.
Scenes of everyday life show us the immediate reality that we live in but sometimes we are too busy to observe. Such images capture the artist’s perception of a subject matter that he/she will share with the world.
As any other creative art, photography conveys the artist’s impression of the world and this can be seen in original shots and compositions that appeals to everyone, from art collectors and gallery owners to interior designers and occasionally buyers.
