How To Find 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.

Another thing that people tend to think of when they think of fantasy is something for children. Indeed a lot of the great images people tend to think of comes from fairy tales. The term fairy tale tends to evoke an idea of cuteness and something that comes from a cartoon.

However this does not necessarily have to be the case. People often forget that the original stories from writers such as the Grimm brothers or Hans Christian Anderson are often a lot darker than their subsequent adaptations. Therefore the imagery can often be quite dark and disturbing as well.

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.

By contrast there are also images based on lighter images. Grand castles, mountain ranges and so forth may exist in real life and look grand in and of themselves. In fantasy these become more exaggerated, their features becoming more distinct. These are the places that are backdrops to grand stories so it is only right that they are iconic in and of themselves.

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 numerous artists that work independently. These artists create their own pieces based on landscapes created from their own imagination. These are often distinct and often people become fans of these artists in their own right. Some may use photographs from real life as reference or may create their own using photo imagery editing software.

It is also worth finding feedback forums online. Talking with fantasy enthusiasts about their favourite landscape photos will allow you to learn more about the best ones available and where to find them. It may be possible to find the next big fantasy artist or simply find images that you will love and want to share. Use your regular search engine in order to find images as well as finding out more about the stories behind those images and the artists that made them.
