Fine-art photography is photography created in line with the vision of the photographer as artist, using photography as a medium for creative expression.

This stands in contrast to representational photography, such as photojournalism, which provides a documentary visual account of specific subjects and events, literally representing objective reality rather than the subjective intent of the photographer; and commercial photography, the primary focus of which is to advertise products or services.
