With the holiday giving season just around the corner, it can sometimes be challenging to come up with gift ideas for family, friends and loved ones. You want to find unique holiday gifts, but you also want to choose something that your recipient will love. You want to pick something that will last a lifetime and that says something personal.
For a gift that shows class and luxury, fine art photography prints are the perfect choice. Scenes from nature let you share a piece of the natural world with your recipient, and when you buy a high quality fine art photography print, you are giving your recipient a piece of art that will look amazing for years to come.

Why Choose Fine Art Photography Prints?
Fine art photography has an aesthetic direction wherein the photographer crafts an intentional artistic touch on the image. Instead of creating a record of a moment in time, the artist changes the way you view the scene through their camera. The combination of aesthetics and intent creates a type of art that engages the senses and draws the viewer’s eye. When printed on metal or acrylic, the colors and definition allow the image to truly shine.
All of this combines to make a perfect present. When you give somebody a luxury fine art photography print, you are giving them something truly beautiful and meaningful.

How To Find The Perfect Photography Print
The most important thing to know before choosing a fine art photography print to give is the recipient’s style. You are selecting something that may hang on their wall forever, so choose wisely and look for something they’d like.
The very best gifts have a personal connection with recipient. What relationship do you share with the recipient? What do they love to do in their free time? Where does your recipient live, and what is that area known for? Here are some questions to ask yourself as you search for the perfect luxury fine art photography print for that special someone.

What’s The Energy?
If your gift recipient’s home is a soothing place with calm energy, a luxury fine art photography print of a sunset makes a beautiful and unique luxury gift. A print of Sweet Escape captures the breathtaking aspect of a beautiful sunset and carries a feeling of comfortable contentment.

If your recipient is always on the go, a piece that is more evocative of energy and dynamism may be better. The bright colors of fall might be perfect; vibrant red and yellow leaves bring vivacious life to a room. The dramatic motion of water in Autumn Splendor produces a strong energy that enlivens the viewer and adds movement to the room.

If you’d like to bring a sense of grandeur and scale to your recipient, images of mountains like The Sentinel can make a powerful statement. Majestic mountains make the room they are in look bigger, and they provide a sense of strength that makes the viewer feel confident and inspired.

What Are Their Hobbies?
If you are finding a gift for a travel enthusiast, images of far-flung, beautiful locales are just what you need. These can be memories of a trip they’ve taken, or perhaps aspirational and inspire them to try somewhere new. A print of Sparkling Positano is a great choice for a traveler. This image of the coastal town of Positano on Italy’s Amalfi coast brings Mediterranean sophistication to your recipient’s wall.

If your recipient is a collector of luxury fine art, they may have an eclectic collection already. An abstract piece like Eternal Flame can evoke deep emotion and thought without representing anything too specifically. Abstract photography engages the imagination as well as the senses, so these prints are a great gift idea.

For the outdoors enthusiast, an image from one of America’s 63 national parks is deeply meaningful as well as beautiful. An image like Rim to Rim reflects the grandeur and beauty of the Grand Canyon, and captures something truly iconic about the American landscape.

Considering Color
If you’re considering giving luxury fine art photography as a present, color can be a challenging issue. People are often particular about color palettes, and while nature scenes typically look great with any background, black and white can also be a great option that looks amazing anywhere.
Monochromatic luxury fine art photography has incredible depth and contrast; the interplay of black and white and the shades of gray they create forms a dynamic, dramatic image. A striking monochrome image like The Ancient makes a beautiful luxury fine art photography print, and will look spectacular on your recipient’s wall.
