Funnily enough, I wondered this myself yesterday after looking on a fine art sight and wondering what the difference was. However, I have found this....

* "Art photography": "Photography that is done as a fine art -- that is, done to express the artist's perceptions and emotions and to share them with others"[1].
* "Fine art photography": "A picture that is produced for sale or display rather than one that is produced in response to a commercial commission"[2].
* "Fine art photography": "The production of images to fulfill the creative vision of a photographer. ... Synonymous with art photography"[3].
* "Art photography": A definition "is elusive," but "when photographers refer to it, they have in mind the photographs seen in magazines such as American Photo, Popular Photography, and Print, and in salons and exhibitions. Art (or artful) photography is salable."[4].
* "Artistic photography": "A frequently used but somewhat vague term. The idea underlying it is that the producer of a given picture has aimed at something more than a merely realistic rendering of the subject, and has attempted to convey a personal impression"[5].
* "Fine art photography": Also called "decor photography," "photo decor," or "wall decor," this "involves selling large photos... that can be used as wall art"[4].
