A Guide To Finding Fantasy Landscape Photos

By Linda Cantrell


The fantasy genre can be a very immersive one. Whether it is a book, a television series or a multiplayer online role playing game people often find themselves becoming obsessed with those worlds. If you love fantasy or know somebody that does then fantasy landscape photos can be a fantastic purchase.

The types of landscapes can vary wildly. They can include dark and frightening caverns. These often use frightening detail to capture the vastness and depth of the cavern, making it seem especially frightening. A talented artist can use software to take existing images and twist them into something truly scary that will stay with people long after they have seen the image.

By contrast there are also images that utilise light. For example there are fairy kingdoms that tend to use white and glowing crystals. This results in wonderful reflections. These often look very attractive on a photo and will often stand out. While fairies are often associated with children it can be surprising how clear and realistic this kind of picture can appear to be.

This means you can get some very evocative imagery. Dark caves and caverns are often quite grand and provide the perfect backdrop for someone who wants something strange and unusual on their walls. These tend to be very far from the cute images that people associate with fairy tales.

Typical images people tend to think of are floating castles or iconic and grand statues and sculptures that could not possibly exist in real life or alternatively would be so difficult to create that people would not put the effort into building them. It is also possible to use lighting effects to create stylistic choices that people would not be able to do with photos of images in real life.

A lot of these images come from books, television series and so forth. Some such as the locations used in the film adaptation of Lord of the Rings take real life landscapes and add extra computer effects in order to further cement a grand and epic backdrop. Indeed many places have had a boost in tourism based on these fantastical additions to the real world due to fans wanting to visit the locations in person.

Equally there are artists that use photo manipulation software to create their own fantastical worlds that can be very distinctive and imaginative. As people become more aware of these artists they often become sought after in their own right. Some may sell their work exclusively through the internet while others may sell their work through galleries and conventions. This is why it is worth looking through a wide range of sources so that you can see a number of different images from numerous artists.

A check on an image gallery on your regular search engine will allow you to compare a wide array of fantasy landscapes. It is worth looking through a number of them in order to think about the kind of style that you personally like and would want to purchase to display on your wall. You should also look for forums or social media sites to talk with other fantasy enthusiasts to see what artists that they would personally recommend. You should also look up local galleries, art stores and conventions as you may even get the chance to meet the artists in person and get their work signed!
