Fine art and travel photographer, Edward M. Fielding’s work invites the viewer to see what he sees, to see where he has explored and wandered, from the tip of Maine to the far reaches of Iceland. From the warm coast of Italy to the snow-covered farms of Vermont.
Photography As A Language
Photography is the modern day form of communication. Photography is a visual language used today that can express meaning without words. Photography is a communication shortcut. A non-verbal language that needs no translation. A universal tongue of today’s society. We live in an increasingly visual culture and photography is the universal language spoken by all.
Fine Art Photography as Home Decor
Photography is a foreign language we all think we speak but until one studies a photograph over time is the real message deciphered. Living with a photograph over time is the best way to understand it and nothing says smart and modern than contemporary fine art photography as home decor.
Fine art photography in the home or office is readily accepted by the viewer. The foundation is realism draws attention as does the familiarity of subject. Even if we haven’t visited or stood in front of the subject in the photograph, visual clues tell us that we could have been standing in the photographers spot, taking that photograph, drinking in that view, studying that subject.
Photography has the ability turn us into world travelers. Photography can afford time travel as it stops time while time marches on. Once the photograph is taken, it starts slipping into the past.
Photography allows us to stop and really see. To examine the details, to explore the entire frame, to slow down and actually look at the world in front of us.
Tips for Decorating with Fine Art Photography
Go Big and Bold – Single large canvas, metal, acrylic or wood prints make a bold statement when displayed as large prints. A single compelling image can make more of an impact than a collection of small prints.
Group Prints by Color or Subject – A wall of black and white photographs framed with matching frames on a studio wall can make
Go for a modern look – Metal prints which don’t require a frame have a modern look. Go for bold colors with metal prints to take advantage of the deep almost 3D effect that metal prints bring out in color photographs. Or go for an unframed or framed canvas print which also gives a modern vibe.
Go sophisticated – Classically framed black and white photographs always gives a high end, sophisticated look. Even today with so much color photographer displayed every day, black and white provides a unique and more “artsy” look that stands out.
