What is Impressionist Photography

Impressionism is an art movement that originated in the late 19th century and was characterized by its use of bright, pure colours and its focus on capturing the fleeting effects of nature and atmosphere. Impressionist photography aims to convey the experience of viewing a scene, perceiving a mass of colour and light rather than details.
