Anyone can take a photograph, but not everyone can take a fine art photograph. What constitutes fine art photography? Some may say X brand of camera, X brand of film or some other special piece of equipment. I agree! And I disagree! Fine art is in the hand of the beholder, the eye of the beholder, even the mind of the beholder. Fine art is a God-given talent, polished and refined, based on skill and creativity. Fine art is from the heart, it is emotional.
Give a person of talent any piece of equipment and that person will create fine art. Give a person of no talent a fine camera and that person will make fine mediocrity. It's Murphy's Law.
I believe that I am a creator of fine art who has developed, and is in the process of developing, my God-given talents. I don't try to compete with "cookie-cutter" mediocrity. I believe that my clients deserve the best fine art masterpieces of themselves. After all, my reflection of you is your reflection of me. How do you see yourself? Are you not a piece of fine art whose value is priceless?
