When people think of fantasy they tend to think of wizards, orcs, elves and so forth. It tends to be a genre that is associated with grand images. This is especially true with the backdrop of fantastical stories. This is probably why fantasy landscape photos are popular with a wide range of people.
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.
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.
This means you can get some very evocative imagery. Dark caves and caverns are often quite grand and provide the perfect backdrop for someone who wants something strange and unusual on their walls. These tend to be very far from the cute images that people associate with fairy tales.
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.
A lot of these images come from books, television series and so forth. Some such as the locations used in the film adaptation of Lord of the Rings take real life landscapes and add extra computer effects in order to further cement a grand and epic backdrop. Indeed many places have had a boost in tourism based on these fantastical additions to the real world due to fans wanting to visit the locations in person.
Equally there are artists that use photo manipulation software to create their own fantastical worlds that can be very distinctive and imaginative. As people become more aware of these artists they often become sought after in their own right. Some may sell their work exclusively through the internet while others may sell their work through galleries and conventions. This is why it is worth looking through a wide range of sources so that you can see a number of different images from numerous artists.
You can find a number of artists and companies selling their photos online. It is worth using the image section of a search engine so you can look at the pictures that personally appeal to you. You can then find who made those pictures and find out how much they cost and where to get them from. It is also worth going online and talking to fellow fantasy enthusiasts to find out the artists that they personally like. You never know you may get introduced to a new favourite!
