Originals in this selection, Photography, Impressionism, 500 to 1,000 euro.
Soft from the camera
Pure photography in impressionist dress renounces later intervention: the softness arises in the instant of exposure. You can find impressionist photographs of this kind for sale at 500 to 1,000 euro here.
Movement during the exposure, a deliberately shifted focus or a lens with a soft edge produce the typical gradients. The result is a photo you can read as craft. The print on paper carries every gradation.

Good places
Above a sideboard or in a hallway with side light the character comes into its own. Several similar motifs side by side form a calm triptych. Too many colors in the surroundings dampen the effect.
Useful details
Watch paper type, size, edition and signature. With soft motifs the quality of highlights and shadows is a good gauge. Because the softness comes from the camera, the original is especially valuable as handwork with light. Note details on exposure and lens if the description gives them, and ask about the number of prints.
