Fine Art Photo Blog

fine art photography blogBack in December Brian Auer of Epic Edits started the ball rolling on a new group photography / web project.

Seven of us came together, spanning 4 countries and 7 timezones, all with very distinct styles, to create a web log specifically tailored to promoting and selling our fine art photography. Today at 12:01 AM we officially launched www.fineartphotoblog.com.

“The Fine Art Photoblog is a unique website dedicated to collectors and admirers of fine art photography. The site is something of a mix between art gallery, photoblog, and search engine.”

The site was built upon three basic principals…

As a gallery, the site is focused completely on the image. All featured photographs will remain on the site permanently, the idea being that before long, we will have an archive of thousands of images.

As a web log, new photographs from the group will be posted daily. Visitors may subscribe to site feeds through RSS or by email. Structurally the site will function just like any other web log.

As a search engine, the site employs extensive tagging and advanced search capabilities so the viewer can find exactly what they are looking for. Search results are based on relevance, ensuring older content isn’t buried by reverse chronological archiving.

I encourage you to take a look at what we’ve built. Given the diversity of styles there is sure to be something for everyone. Each photograph contains links to purchase original and / or art prints, so if you’re looking to fill some wall space, this is a good place to start…

Original Art IS Affordable

is original art affordable

An interesting debate continues on emptyeasel.com Is original art affordable? Do art prints really stand up as art?

“I love when artists who sell prints claim they’re doing it to make art affordable to the masses. Just before I started writing this I did a quick search for “daily painters” online. Yup, right there on my computer screen were some pretty cool paintings—all of them originals. There were ORIGINAL oil paintings on canvas board, ORIGINAL acrylic paintings on canvas, ORIGINAL pastels on paper, and REAL drawings.”
