Fine art photography focuses on themes like human and natural forms, conveying messages or topics that provoke discomfort through shocking imagery. Experimental fine art photography uses surreal objects and composition to create strange worlds that express emotions. Contemporary surrealist portraits add modern twists through traditional darkroom techniques and the use of objects and settings to capture subjects' emotions.
