Brilliant Works of Conceptual Photography : 60 Creative Examples

Concept photos differ from other types of photography simply because they usually carry a specific message or theme. Typically, they are shot in the studio to offer more creativity and solutions to photographers. This does however; increase the planning as it offers ideas for more props, lighting sets, and different lenses. Concept photography is one of the few types that allows for humor, different connotations, politically skewed messages, social awareness issues, and of course sarcasm.

Here are some really beautiful examples of conceptual photography. I hope you will find them inspiring.
