Inspiring Selection of Nature Photos for Sale

By Allan Hatchell


There are many beautiful nature photos for sale. This is not surprising considering how many photographers find inspiration from nature. Some love the intricate detail involved in macro photography whilst others prefer the challenge of wildlife or landscapes. Whatever subject they choose, they need imagination and an understanding of what makes a particular location or object special and compelling.

The way a photographer relates to a subject is more important than lighting, technique or equipment used. Of course, these are also important but the best photos reveal the mysteries of nature to others. They convey the particular vision of the photographer.

Studies have been done which prove that anger, fear and stress can be decreased by contact with nature. Even the ancient Greeks were aware of the fact that nature had healing powers. Our world today is so full of activity and stress that we need to learn once again what these Greeks knew. We need to bring nature into our homes to provide the comforting refuge we need.

We are not always able to disappear out into nature for the day. Work and other responsibilities intrude. This is why we can benefit from having photos inside our houses. They can evoke strong emotions in us. When we look at images we truly love we immediately feel better.

Images can inspire intense emotion in people. They can capture our imagination and make us feel full of awe. We use them in our homes to set a mood, add an accent or simply because we love them. Bold wildlife photos with strong colors can bring instant drama to a room. Images of calm waters or flowers bring tranquility. Urban landscapes can bring an edge into modern interiors.

When choosing art for a room, you need to be careful, taking all the other design elements into consideration. It may be unwise to add a wildlife photo into a room decorated in pastel colors, whereas it would look amazing in a room with bold colors. A simple photo with neutral colors would look good in a room with many strong colors but would just disappear in one that already had too many neutrals.

With all the nature photos for sale, it is easy to make the perfect choice to complement your decor. It is often easier to do this with photos than with other artwork as they can be grouped for maximum impact. For example, a series of flower photos may provide exactly the right focal point you need to finish off your room.
