Fine Art photography for decoration

PICTURES-OF-MUSTANG-HORSES-EJAZ-KHAN-EARTH.jpg?lossy=0&strip=1&webp=1

What is fine art photography Exactly?

When it comes to photography, some would argue that there is no need to define what really is and what may not be fine art, which leaves the question open to interpretation. However, while fine art photographers may take any subject, their aim is very different in contrast to how commercial photographers depict subjects aimed at showing or selling a product or service, for example. This says a lot about the intentions of both types of photography and we can see that there are differences between the two.

How to decorate your home with Fine Art?

When it comes to photographic trends, we will rely on images with powerful 'black & white' and impactful colour that really draws one into the subject matter in order to depict our deepest desires and duality of life. The growth of surrealism and philosophical subjects fuels the popularity of fine art photography and photo manipulations that tell compelling visual stories. Creative uses of makeup make a huge impact because now artists can photograph their favourite sketches onto an already finished portrait.

 

Let's explore the premium quality wildlife luxury wall art for decoration.

I'm finally putting away my pliers, wire cutters, etc. and am selling all of my accumulation of stones, beads, chain, leather components, findings (both precious metal and base metal) and much too much to list here. I have been providing jewelry to high-end boutiques and some galleries for many years and reached an age where my eyes are not willing to continue. I know it's difficult during this crazy COVID period with hardly any gem shows and I certainly miss going to the Tucson shows which I have attended for 20 years.  So I hope to find fellow jewelers who need and want much of the inventory of raw materials that I have at very low pricing and we can both benefit. Please just email me and I can provide more information and photos.

Hi there! We've been an art fair family based out of san francisco for over 25 years now and we're moving out of the country. We can't take the propanels with us but we would love to get them into the hands of art fair people!


Propanels set (includes rods to form structures and hang lights) : $950
color grey
11 propanels each 77 inches tall frame by 38 1/2' wide
2 narrow propanels to create division each 30' wide 6 feet tall

We also have 8 grid panels $30 each(6ft x 2ft) as well as 9 a-frame displays $50 each(5f 8' tall by 2 feet wide).

Unfortunately we are having to move because our beloved artist and my father, Alberto Toscano has passed away. We have to tie up these loose ends by the end of the week. Pick up is in San francisco, California -- specifically Noe valley. Unfortunately we don't have time to ship these. Hopefully this message reaches an artist who needs these tools! 

We're open to hearing offers! Thank you so much!
