Fine Art Photography is anything but your average vacation-shot, you have to go beyond that, what would someone hang on there wall or show off in their space, it cant be a post card, it has to have a feeling.
To start with
As a fine art photographer, to start with, to be an artist in the photo realm there is a necessity for consistency, for uniqueness. If you were to get your images into a gallery there would have to be uniformity to them all. There needs to be something special in your art. It has to stand out.

What obstacles to identify and pursue for a perfect shot
"How do I find my subject matter?" you might ask. "Is it important?" I like to choose a desiccation, and then just feel into it, trying to become part of the location, trying to feel its beauty. I love to listen to music, this really inspires me.
A great fine art portfolio
With a great portfolio, the technique isn’t so important because it just has to be the same for all the images. You can experiment to start with, to help you work it out, but once you know what you want then your body of work has to all look consistent. If you're looking for a cohesive portfolio that will look great and connect together when on display, set guidelines and stick with them throughout your work. But dont forget to have an element of freedom to your work.
A photographer shares their journey
Creation should be an expression of your own personal vision and not just a clone of others. You don’t need to worry about what others want as your focus should be on creating something that resonates with who you are as well as the subject matter you use to express yourself. It is only by sticking to this rule that you will find yourself on a new path.
Whether you prefer to create images without a message or have the desire to express through imagery, if you want to be a photographer you need to consider what your work will be about. Fine art photography refers to the type of images created by someone with a photojournalistic goal and expressive element marred with an artist’s sensibility.
