Colin I think that Fine art like art in general is in the eye of the viewer. As a photographer with 46 years as a professional photographer I too see wedding photographers calling their over edited wedding photos as fine art. Fine art isn't the subject matter or the location it's the technique, the lighting, maybe the pose, shadows, the bending of the light.
Your work is art, maybe not every shot is "fine art", neither is mine. But I have large canvas's hanging on the walls, nudes and landscapes, I've sold landscapes to architects and nudes to Love Hotels in other countries.
Keep creating, bend light everyday, play with it, experiment with it,
People or Landscapes? Interestingly on the Foto app there are filters for Fine Art (which includes both and many of which I find interesting) and Fine Art Nude which is always people (sometimes in the landscape) and there are very few that I'd consider fine art (or even art). When I shoot landscapes I'm simply trying to get the best outcome with what I see before me, but when I shoot nudes there is definitely a voice in my head saying "what would make this fine art?" And having said all of that the one picture hanging on my walls that I would definitely categorise as fine art is of a lone tree on limestone pavement. I'm clearly just as confused on this one!
