A group of photographers from our forum got together and set up a monthly challenge we call Fine Art Friday. The last Friday of each month we are going to post photos that aren’t our typical portrait shots. They are ones that we consider fine art.
There is no universal definition of Fine Art Photography. Sometimes you just feel it when you see a photograph. A photograph that one person might consider fine art, might not say “fine art” to the next viewer. Fine Art Photography is more about the photographer’s creative vision for a photo.
We have members doing macro work, still life, florals, landscape and everything in between. It’s been exciting to try new things and see our visions unfurl.
If you’d like to see our photographers’ work, we’ve created two blog circles. Feel free to jump in and circle through the blogs. We hope you enjoy your trip!

We wanted to give a shout out to another fabulous Fine Art blog circle created last year by the talented Nichole Van. I have admired her work for years and been to two of her fabulous photography workshops. She is one of the most creative photographers I’ve ever met. She has some photos that, quite simply, just take my breath away. Nichole’s group is called Elevate-A Fine Art Exploration and the photographers participating in it have shared some amazing fine art photographs. Pop by her blog and check out their circle. This is my favorite of her Elevate-A Fine Art Exploration series and a great place to start.
Just because I can never write a blog post without adding a photo… here was my second choice for this month’s challenge, the photo that didn’t make the cut but still sings to me:

Kay Pickens is a photographer in Columbia, MO and St. Louis MO. She loves to photograph the birds out her office window in all types of weather but as a sunshine, warm-weather-loving woman, photographing the birds in the snow is one of the few parts of winter she enjoys…
