Just for my sake of understanding, when does a photograph become "not" a photograph? I have both of these photographs listed in my Etsy shop right now. The bottom photograph is the original, although I, of course, use a photo editor to bring out the best in my work.
The photo above, I have obviously done more than just a basic "touch up" to the photograph, and I'm not sure at what point it would be considered "art" and not a photograph, by Etsy or anyone else's standards. Any thoughts?
I have the original described as an "artistic photograph" and the kaleidoscope described as a "manipulated photograph".
Now I wonder if I should use "fine art photograph" for photos such as the original, and "artistic photograph" for ones that I have truly manipulated. Or if there is another way altogether to describe it.
I couldn't find anything specifically about this in the forums. Is there a standard for this type of thing? I did see several posts in the forums about the difference between "fine art photograph" and just a "photograph", but nothing that referenced manipulated photos.
TaraFlyPhotos recommends altered, digital, and maybe pop art to describe these photos... does that sound good to you?
oooh, that's tough. Maybe talk to other Etsians who have similar work. Your altered photos are awesome!
