hotography is a different kind of art and it has the power to move us to any place and time. Art collectors have started investing in limited edition prints and many photographers have become worldwide known artists.

Collecting art does not always have to mean that you need to invest a lot of money. If you are passionate about beauty and visual arts are what interest you the most, you can become a collector with a small budget too. Unlike valuable paintings, which are more likely to be expensive and not so easy to find, limited edition prints can make a great subject of your collection. It is true that you cannot start an art collection with no money at all, but it does not have to mean that you need to make sacrifices to do something that you like.

For a very long time, the status of photography as art has been contested. People considered that the photographer should not take any credit for his pictures and it was believed that the camera did nothing else than reproducing what already exists in nature. Unlike painters, it was believed that photographers did not have to use their imagination to create something and that was the value of any art. However, talented photographers have managed to prove the world that their work did not only involve capturing a subject, but also finding the perfect light, the most advantageous shading and the most interesting perspective. A photographer has the power to point out the world through their own eyes.

Nowadays, collecting limited edition prints is not a new thing. People have finally understood the value of a beautiful photo and their collections are just as valuable as any other art collection. To start collecting prints, you can look at photos in art galleries, museums, print workshops and so on. You also have the possibility to look for art fairs or even visit online art galleries, where artists from all over the world display their artworks. It is easy to start discovering artist and see what you like. You might be interested in abstract prints, for example. Or, you might prefer portraits. The most important thing is to keep focused on building a unique collection.
