Imagine you’re a professional photographer (if you’re not the one already), why do you need a high-resolution camera? Some might find the question obvious, so does the Brazilian photographer Gleeson Paulino. For him it’s primarily about the colour, which invincibility is worth fighting for, since it expresses the very spirit of nature.
Nowadays when we can create light and colour of the picture with the help of digital apps, it seems rather odd that it took several decades for color photography to regain its rightful place in collections and museums. The Kodak color film was already introduced in the 1920s and the full production of the improved Kodachrome began in 1935. For a long time, however, the color photographs had muted tones: the crowd dressed more than modestly, burgundy cars, brown houses.
However, when colour photography finally overthrew its monochrome father it became the major source of inspiration and work for many artists such as Mitch Epstein, William Eggleston and Joel Meyerowitz.

An LA-based photographer Amanda Charchian believes it’s the intention of the photographer that distinguishes fine art photography from the commercial and documentary one.

When does this magic moment occur that defines the photograph as a work of art? While the photographer looks around to excerpt the right sujet from the surrounding, or perhaps once the sujet has been determined and the author pushes the camera button? Can it be the certain context evolving later, which makes the photograph true art or there might be something intangible and magnetic in the work a priori? Whatever it is, each artist has one’s own philosophy and way to capture the most inspiring negatives of the reality.
