- Edit Wayne Cook Photography - Videography - Visual Arts My passion is fine art photography, which 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. Fine art photography is created primarily as an expression of the artist’s vision, but has also been important in advancing certain causes. Fine art describes an art form developed primarily for aesthetics and/or concept rather than utility.This type of art is often expressed in the production of art objects using visual and performing art forms, including painting, sculpture, music, dance, theatre, architecture, photography and printmaking. Schools, institutes, and other organizations often use the term to indicate a traditional perspective on the art forms, often implying an association with classic or academic art. Video art is a type of art which relies on moving pictures and comprises video and/or audio. Video art came into existence during the 1960s, is still widely practiced and has given rise to the widespread use of video installations. Video art can take many forms: recordings that are broadcast, viewed in galleries or other venues, or distributed as video tapes or DVD discs, sculptural installations, which may incorporate one or more television sets or video monitors, displaying ‘live’ or recorded images and sound, and performances in which video representations are included. Video art is named after the video tape, which was most commonly used in the form's early years, but before that artists had already been working on film. One of the key differences between video art and theatrical cinema is that video art does not necessarily rely on many of the conventions that define theatrical cinema. Video art may not employ the use of actors, may contain no dialogue, may have no discernible narrative or plot, or adhere to any of the other conventions that generally define motion pictures as entertainment.

About me
Fine Art Photography takes a
mixed-media approach, making use of conventional photographic technique as a
foundational medium, to create art. The photographer Ansel Adams is often
referenced as a pioneer in fine art photography - illustrating how the
boundaries of conventional craft photography is pushed, its rules overshot, and
its limitations overcome by mastering science and commingling other media to
create a work of art. Craft photography attempts to capture and convey
information about a subject; fine art photography is a mixed-media work of art
inspired by the original photographic image.
Portraits photography is the capture by
means of photography of the likeness of a person or a small group of people, in
which the face and expression is predominant. The objective is to display the
likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject. A portrait is composed
image of a person in a still position,often showing a person looking directly at
the camera.
Many portraits are created for public display ranging from
fine art portraiture, to commercial portraiture such as might be used to
illustrate a company's annual report, to promotional portraiture such a might be
found on a book jacket showing the author of the book.
Corporate
headshots similar to those used by artists. Executives are sometimes shown
formally, wearing suits and shirts. In the last decade, many executives have
selected a more casual, approachable image for their headshots, reflecting a
culture that no longer dresses formally in the workplace. Lighting for corporate
headshots is simple and nondramatic, but flattering. I prefer natural lighting.
Subjects are often shown head-to-midchest, or from head to just above the
waist.
Corporate headshots serve a variety of purposes,
including:
Annual reports
Resumes
Corporate catalogs, brochures and
advertising collateral
Company publications and websites, internal and
external
Press releases and other announcements
Marketing
materials
Articles and newspapers
My passion is fine art photography,
which refers to photographs that are created to fulfill the creative vision of
the artist. Fine art photography is created primarily as an expression of the
artist’s vision. In 1988, I became a member of the Friends of the National
Gallery in Ottawa.
My photographic interests reflect my life and I have
photographed in London, Rome, Florence, Paris, Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Lisbon,
Amsterdam, Belgium, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Mexico, Costa
Rica, Panama, Columbia, Vancouver, Montreal, Iceland, Scotland and at home in
Toronto.
