Love this! I've never really thought about the difference in photography styles. I thought a lot of what I did was documentary but it's interesting thinking of macro as fine art. I'll have to explore it more. Love the photo, too. Lean into it indeed. Great post!

Thank you so much for the comment, interestingly there was a photo of a capsicum that sold for 600,000$ due to how it was taken. Anything can be turned into fine art if we set the intention to say something with our image.

Does this mean I don't have intention when I am in the street with my camera? I don't plan, compose, shoot, check, recompose, shoot again? I guess I don't understand what you mean by "intention."

Love the pic by the way.

Thank you, for me in street photography intention is just putting thought into how you compose, etc

You say you don’t plan etc that’s exactly what street photography is, it’s a raw moment

When you start to plan or think more about your composition, wait for a frame and capture it with the aim of saying more. That becomes fine art
