Square crop
Traditionally fine art was always shot on large or medium format cameras, so choose a square crop to emulate the past masters. A square crop instantly lends an artistic feel and shouts out fine art.
Toning
A great way to boost the fine art feel is to use mono toning techniques. Whether it’s an old style sepia tone, a cool blue or a retro yellow, experimenting with colour tones will help give that important arty impact.
