January 29th marked the first meeting of the Fine Arts Photo Club, hosted by the Sacramento Fine Arts Center(SFAC). We're a diverse group of photographic enthusiasts, ranging from professional to novice and all points in between. The purpose of the club is to provide a friendly learning environment. As the group evolves we'll be planning field trips and group shooting opportunities as well as sharing and teaching. The club is open to all formats and genres although there will be a significant focus on digital photography.
Fine art photography refers to photographs that are created to fulfill the creative vision of the artist. Fine art photography stands in contrast to photojournalism and commercial photography. Photojournalism provides visual support for stories, mainly in the print media. Commercial photography's main focus is to sell a product or service.
