Photography as art

I was nosing around in my inspiration folder and I have in there a grouping of art photos. In just about every one of them was photography as art. I much prefer photography hanging on my walls than paintings or other forms of art, as the graphic (and no-need-for-interpretation) quality appeals to me. Here are a few of these photos that have captured my interest for quite a while.

Art photography is great. I wouldn't characterise all of the above as art but none the less... photos can be a great asset of interior design when properly used, even when the art aspect can be debated.

But... I don't understand why would you say that art photography does not invite the spectator to be interpret it? I believe it does, consciously or not.

Like everything else, for that matter... But anyway, I don't see any difference in the need of interpretation, whether it's an art photo or an oil painting.

Love the kitchen with the photograph running all across the wall.

Daniel Hertzell is the interior space photographer and not the photographer of the car photo correct? I've been trying to find a source for that photo for quite some time and cannot find the artist.

Heather you are correct. I unfortunately don't know who the photographer is of the car photo.
