Conceptually, fine art is created uppermost for aesthetic expression and appeal. Art, which seeks purpose through beautiful or significant modes.

Exhibiting the artist and the subject matter in a relatively complex and intensified dimension, exceeding the common degree or measure.

The fine art photographer reveals his own identity to the public forum using imagery as a vehicle.

The artist's intellectual and emotional persona is exposed by the immediate objects of his thoughts in simple apprehension.

Fine art is singular, absent of advertising agencies and art directors, pure and disciplined commanding commitment to the concept.

Photographers, true to the art form, compose one hundred percent through the camera. The viewer experiences an unaltered composition exactly as the creator did at the time of exposure, the decisive moment.

Manipulating the original composition in the darkroom or electronically renders the image incomplete, therefore no longer art.

High art is a more esoteric term which portrays the identical phenomenon.

Fine art or high art, whichever terminology one chooses, the emphasis and perspective evolve, and as a result, become less tangible, more abstract. The subject matter assumes the back seat.

By comparison, commercial art exists solely for monetary gain. Commerciality is the end result. Fine art lives beyond a product's shelf life into life's infinity.
