Fine Art Photographers take pre-planned images. Their art is usually heavily edited. Many take place in nature, but there are still quite a few that are indoors in a set. Indoors photos are generally taken in the artist's studio. Examples:

Fine art photographers, on average, make somewhere between 2,000 to 40,000 dollars per work, though usually pictures don't sell for much until they've become more known and respected. Some photographers in this field are self taught, but many receive either bachelor's or master's in fine arts. Generally, Artists keep their work in galleries until sold.

Fine art photography, at least to me, feels a lot more creative and engaging than average photography. Instead of a client requesting an image, it's all based on what the artist wants to photograph, and people buy it for what it is. It seems like a difficult path to begin with, but once your work gets noticed by someone it seems like it could be quite enjoyable to be more of a freelance photographer.

People in the field [|Laurent Baillet] [|Edward Burtynsky] [|Lynne Cohen]

I really enjoy taking pictures that just look... nice. I want to try and make a series of images of outdoor nature shots, but I want to edit them in Photoshop not just to look nicer, but also to look a bit... off. I want to change some parts of the image to seem different. For some that may be a tweak in color, or maybe I'll have to add or remove objects, but I want to alter them in some way.
