...end of story... by Svetlana Bekyarova
Since photography first evolved in the 1800s there have been enormous developments in the way photographs are used. Before the advent of the camera, important information was disseminated by word of mouth or hand-drawn illustrations. Once cameras became accessible, photographs became the medium of choice to capture history, illustrate the horrors of war, wonder at nature's beauty, portray important people, applaud sports achievements, record family events, and make memories. Ultimately, photographs became the backbone of the fashion and advertising industries. Then came selfies…
The result is that we are bombarded with thousands of photographs each and every day of our lives in social media, shopping centres, magazines and newspapers.
Fine Art Photography is one genre that stands out from this crowd, making you look twice. It is not driven by profit but by the passion of artistic expression, using all the elements of art and the principles of design – composition, balance, unity, movement, rhythm and pattern and contrast - and then revelling in the satisfaction of creating an artistically beautiful and compelling image, usually with a deeper meaning, mood or concept.
A great profusion of work published and awarded by 1x.com falls into this category, and the following selection of photographs showcases these artists' abilities.
