Fine art photography refers to photographs that are created to fulfill the creative vision of the artist's fruits of labor.
Fine Art Photography stands in contrast to photojournalism and commercial photography.
Photojournalism provides visual support for stories, mainly in the print media.
Commercial photography's main focus is to sell a product or service.
So Is Art Photography?
Quote in 2001 by Robert Balcomb:
" ..this practice of involving the photographer in every aspect of achieving a picture goes a long way to place photography in the halls of Art, but it has one more demand. Mortensen, a most competent artist, fulfilled that demand. Long before going into photography he studied in New York with the artists Bridgeman, Henri, and Bellows, painting mostly cityscapes,spent a year in Greece painting. The point is that he was a proven artist, carrying that talent into his work with photography."
