Art photography is the process of taking photographs for aesthetic and personal reasons rather than for documentation.
Artists who were fine art photographers in the 20th century included Edward Steichen and Alfred Stieglitz.
Alfred Stieglitz was an american photographer who spent his career transforming photography into an art form and not a form of documentation. [1]
He is mostly known for his photographs of clouds, hands and landscapes. An example of these can be seen below.
