UNIT 57: PHOTOGRAPHY- Fine Arts Photography

Fine Arts Photography is.....

Photography which is created in accordance with the vision of the artist as the photographer.




These are some examples of black and white and colour fine art.
Scott Mead is a key fine arts photographer. He studied photography under the photographers; William Eggleston and Emmet Gowin in 1970. In 2009 he let photography have a back seat whilst he was had an investment banking career. He then decided to go into his attic and retrieve all his old cameras, work, lenses etc. Then in 2010 he opened his first solo exhibition called "Looking Back" at Hamilton's Gallery London and were sold at auctions and to collectors and all the funds he made were given to the Great Ormond Street Children's Charity which was the hospital which one of his children were cured of a life threatening disease many years ago. Some of Scott's photographs are hanging in Andover, Massachusetts curated through the Addison Gallery of American Art.

Currently he is working on a number of projects. One of which is his exhibition that is coming up "Silent Moments" which consists of recent work he's done and a book and a exhibition called "Above the Clouds" which is about images and thoughts on his life, travel and his overall journey.
