When We Met Then ?

When We MetHave you ever thumbed through a magazine and looked at a photograph in an advertisement and thought, without the text, that would be a great picture? Framing a picture cut out from a magazine dose not always look so appealing on the wall. Luckily for all of us a trend has began that allows one to put the scissors away and go to the local art gallery. More and more commercial photographs, intentionally shot for advertisement, are being purchased to adorn the walls of homes and businesses. Originally the artistic minded photographer would dabble in commercial photography, but it was unusual for a commercial photographer to try to place pieces of work in galleries. That has finally all been changed for the better.
There is little difference between a photograph shot for a magazine and one shot for purpose of creating a fine art piece. Each photographer for whatever reason chooses to create an image to satisfy a underlying vision or inspiration. To most photographers there is no difference between commercial or fine art photographs. It is usually those that market the finished product that seem to draw the line on what is considered fine art and what is not. Thankfully that type of thinking is fast dissipating.

When last minute gift ideas are being sought, it may well be the time that photographic art in all genres shine. A trend of seeking gifts of value and longevity over those that gratify impulses and bring satisfaction for only a brief moment is on the rise. Truly we live in a time when photography has finally met the same plateau as traditional art in the market place.
