This question was posed by Paul Cosgrove to me while we were hanging images in the local photography exhibition. It sparked a whole train of thought, wondering indeed what it was. I subsequently posted the same question at the large format photography forum (for the link click here). I do consider my work as fine art photography and discuss my thoughts behind this ubiquitous label.

Musical secrets What can a visual artist learn from musicians when a creative block is encountered?

I attended a workshop held at Woodford Folk Festival (December 2002) where a panel of musicians revealed their methods for unleashing their creativity, when they find a creative block. On reflection I found their advice was accurate for me as a visual artist, which I was able to apply to my own creative endeavor of taking photographs. What follows are the main points they described and how I applied them to my photography. Though I believe these would be equally applicable to any artistic or musical endeavor.
