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.

In some cases this may come from the original sources. Some authors would create maps and illustrations in order to further make the reader feel part of their world. Over time this has influenced people to draw, paint and use editing software in order to create wonderfully realistic landscapes that are part of a fantasy world.

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.

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.

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!

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.
