They can symbolise focus, healing and warmth. And in China symbolism extends beyond longevity to vitality, good fortune, happiness and intelligence.

During a 5-day photography workshop, we were asked to define “fine art.” The best answer given was a small photo of an object displayed in a matting board within a large frame, often accompanied by a high price tag. Some believed that having a watermark on a website image was undesirable as it detracts from the overall appeal.
At Photo Quest, we have a different philosophy. We believe that using watermarks on images reflects a lack of trust, fueled by fear, and doesn’t foster a sense of community.
