What is Fine Art Photography?
=============================
Fine art photography is a type of photography that is created with artistic intent and devoid of commercial or documentary purposes. It is often subjective personal and expressive reflecting the vision and style of the photographer. Fine art photography can cover any subject matter from landscapes and portraits to still life and abstracts.
Fine art photography is different from reproduction art which is a copy or imitation of an existing artwork such as a painting or a sculpture. Reproduction art can be mass-produced and sold at low prices but it lacks the originality and quality of a well crafted fine art photography print. And fine art photography adds more elegance and class to a space than pop art photography.
Why Choose Black and White Photography?
=======================================
Black and white photography is a classic and timeless form of fine art photography. It can create a powerful visual impact highlighting shapes forms textures and contrasts that might be overlooked in colour. It can also convey a sense of drama mystery nostalgia or elegance depending on the subject and the lighting.
Black and white photography can suit any style of home from modern and minimalist to traditional and cosy. It can also complement any colour scheme creating a striking contrast or a subtle harmony. Black and white photography can also create a sense of unity and coherence in your wall art collection especially if you choose prints from the same photographer or series.
Why Choose Film Photography?
============================
Film photography is a type of photography that uses chemical processes to capture images on light-sensitive material such as photographic film or paper. Film photography is often considered superior to digital photography in terms of quality resolution dynamic range and colour rendition. Film photography can also produce unique effects such as grain tonality and depth of field that are difficult or impossible to replicate with digital technology.
Film photography is also a more authentic and artistic form of photography as it requires more skill patience and creativity from the photographer. Film photographers have to carefully select their film type camera settings exposure time and development process to achieve their desired results. Film photographers also have more control over their final product as they can manipulate their images in the darkroom or with digital tools.

How to Display Wall Art?
========================
Once you have bought your fine art photography wall art prints you need to decide how to display them in your home. There are many factors to consider such as the size shape colour and style of your prints the layout theme and function of your room and the amount of space light and furniture you have. Here are some general tips to help you display your wall art:

Choose a wall that is large enough to accommodate your prints without overcrowding or under-utilising it. Ideally your prints should cover about two-thirds of the wall space.

Choose a wall that is visible and accessible from different angles and distances. Avoid walls that are hidden behind doors windows or furniture or that are too high or too low.

Choose a wall that matches the mood and purpose of your room. For example if you want to create a relaxing and cosy atmosphere in your bedroom you might want to choose a wall that faces your bed or your favourite spot. If you want to create a lively and social atmosphere in your living room you might want to choose a wall that faces your sofa or your dining table.

Choose a wall that complements the colour and style of your room. For example if you have a neutral or monochrome colour scheme you might want to choose a wall that contrasts with it such as a dark or bright wall. If you have a colourful or eclectic colour scheme you might want to choose a wall that harmonises with it such as a light or pastel wall.

Choose a wall that suits the shape and orientation of your prints. For example if you have horizontal prints you might want to choose a wide and low wall. If you have vertical prints you might want to choose a narrow and tall wall. If you have square prints you might want to choose a symmetrical and balanced wall.

Choose a layout that fits the number and size of your prints. For example if you have one large print you might want to centre it on the wall or place it slightly off-centre for a more dynamic look. If you have two or more prints of the same size you might want to align them horizontally or vertically for a neat and orderly look. If you have two or more prints of different sizes you might want to arrange them in a grid or a collage for a creative and varied look.

Choose a spacing that creates harmony and balance among your prints. For example if you want to create a cohesive and unified look you might want to space your prints close together leaving about 2 to 4 inches between them. If you want to create a distinct and individual look you might want to space your prints far apart leaving about 6 to 10 inches between them.

Choose a height that is comfortable and appealing for viewing. For example if you want to follow the standard rule of thumb you might want to hang your prints at eye level which is about 57 inches from the floor. If you want to adjust the height according to your room and furniture you might want to hang your prints about 6 to 12 inches above or below them.

How to Care for Wall Art?
=========================
