Since I was completely diverted from my area of interest that is photography, my mentor suggested me that I should probably get back to my area of interest because, I should do something not for sake of doing it but keep up my interest and take it forward.

so again I sat down to find out more topics related to photography. I went through a lot things, like lomography, importance of photography in advertising industry study works of 3 established photographes.Then , after going through a lot of things I came across a term 'Fine Art Photography' as I went into more details about this topic, it gained my interest and i wanted to know more about it so therefore I decided onto this topic and took my research forward.

What is the purpose of your research? Why is it useful?

As I want to pursue photography as a career, studying this genre of photography will help me increase my knowledge in this field.

This will also make me understand what fine art as an art form is, which a communication designer should know.
