How To Choose Fantasy Landscape Photos

By Linda Cantrell


The fantasy genre has a number of iconic images. As well as the monsters, elves and other fantastic creatures one of the major things people remember are the vivid worlds created in the genre. If you would like something displayed on your wall it is worth looking online for fantasy landscape photos.

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.

A photo does not necessarily have to come from a literary source. There are numerous official merchandise pictures that you can get that show off the landscapes based on the films, television series and books that they are featured in. For fans this is often something special in addition to the more usual forms of merchandise you can get.

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.

There is also the issue of where you purchase these from. In some cases people will look specifically for items from their favourite books, television shows and so forth. If you want something official that has been approved by the creators or the estates of creators then it is best to look for officially sanctioned websites.

In other cases it is more about looking online and checking the images. There are a wide array of places you could get them. They can be found in art stores, galleries and on websites. If you attend conventions the artists will often sell themselves and may even be willing to sign them for you!

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!
