Conceiving and Processing a Fine Art Photograph – Creating (en)Visionography
This is a selection of my essential guides and fine art black and white photography tutorials, long exposure photography tutorials, (en)Visionography tutorials, architecture photography tutorials, and my original black and white processing method Photography Drawing (PhtD). The Photography Drawing technique introduces a new way of seeing and working with light and shapes, a new way of processing black and white photographs, based on techniques that are used in art and in classical artistic drawing which I have used for years in my classical and architectural drawings as a practicing architect. This space will be constantly updated and enriched, so keep an eye on it for new tutorials and useful tips and tricks for fine art photography or subscribe to receive new tutorials by email even before they are published somewhere else.
What is (en)Visionography – The New Fine Art Photography
(en)Visionography is photography based on vision. It is a new approach to photography that aims to create not only a photograph but an object of ART, born from the vision and personal style of the artist.
(en)Visionography is the evolution of fine art photography in the digital era, from photography where the artist was limited by the camera and the conditions in the scene he was shooting, by the tools he could work with in the darkroom, to the photography where nothing limits us, where we are in total control and we can use both the camera and a very powerful tool, the processing software, to show our vision in the most accurate way in the image we create.
Here is the place where you can find information about (en)Visionography. Here is where this concept was created and developed. From here it was spread out all over the world and it has become a new way of seeing and creating photography.
If you want to join other (en)Visionographers, you can join the (en)Visionographe group on Facebook to get inspiration from some of the best black and white photographers and share your work with more than 18000 members worldwide.
How to Create Award-Winning Photography
In my fine art black and white photography tutorials and guides, I’m explaining how one can create compelling fine art images and make award-winning photography. The images I analyze here are gold, silver and bronze award-winning images and have won distinctions in many international fine art competitions over the years. You will learn what you can do so you can win these awards too.
