Affordable, Contemporary Art + Have an Arty Weekend!

I'm excited to say that I'm linking to a brilliant photographer today and I'll be sharing gorgeous fine art photos and artwork gifts.
Mark Highton Ridley is a highly skilled and creative photographer.
He has had work published in Photo magazines, and the BBC has frequently shown his work as well.
His quirky style and aspects of capturing things around has always drawn me to him.
I love the way he can take ordinary scenes and make them extraordinary; he has the ability and skill to apply new perspective to standard images. In other words he manages to add something new to the Contemporary Fine Art Photography.

I have always admired his dedication and passion for his work. His photos sometimes incorporate a deep insight, and are many...
potentially expressive shots. He's mainly a  Black &White photographer , but his photography approach go artistically further than that.

Here's a well-rounded set of photos that would make any house feel happy.

Formally he's revealing his interest in colour HDR and tone-mapping techniques.

Parthenon Marble In Green.

Here's an inspiring shot from his last trip to Athens, Greece in April 2010.
What I love about this picture is the fact that he gave this shot a treatment that would be dramatically extraordinary. It surely looks like it's made of glass. Don't you think?

Twisting it to a whole different perspective can be amazing!

Who says photography is limited to what a standard frame one can see.

Much of his work and other artwork is available as posters and canvas prints.

You can find gorgeous fine art photos for less than a Gant shirt. You can also find beautiful postcards, t-shirts, plates, mugs and other gifts. Along with his B&W photography, his gallery contains a large handful of HDR tone mapped images.

Visit his Zazzle store here and have a look at his full gallery for more.

If your house and friends are craving affordable fine art photos and artwork gifts I would recommend it 1,000 times over.

This is the fine art photography that I would recommend to anyone who wants their home to feel pretty, especially if you love a fine art work that is affordable. It would be a great investment and also just so nice to hang around the house as frames.

What a terrific idea for holiday cards and gifts this year as well! :)

Some art is worthwhile because is too beautiful!

My darlings, I hope you have a wonderful weekend! xx
