The Distinction

between fine art and glamour is often one of marketing, with fine art being sold through galleries or dealers in limited editions signed by the artist, while glamour photos are distributed through mass media such as magazines. For some, the difference is in the gaze of the model, with glamour models looking into the camera, while art models do not.
 

Black and White

B/W
Black-and-white as a description may be considered a misnomer in that the images are not ordinarily starkly contrasted black and white, but combine black and white in a continuum producing a range of shades of gray. Further, many prints, especially those produced earlier in the development of photography, were in sepia (mainly for archival stability), which yielded richer, more subtle shading than reproductions in plain black-and-white. Color photography provides a much greater range of shade, but part of the appeal of black and white photography is its more subdued monochromatic character.
 

People

People always inspire me, there is something intimate in a special relationship of a subject and the artist, with a camera lens in between.
