What is romanticism photography?

Throughout the 1800s the romantic movement was the most popular form of landscapes that were painted early on. However, the style is brought back in the 21st century with photographers recreating similar images. The first real romantic landscapes were seen in the period when artists, poets and writers were more focused on nature and the power of it more than any history, religion or portraiture happening in that time.  The period was characterized mostly by emphasis of emotion as well as nature. At the time, the industrial revolution was emerging and romanticism was a fresh and almost reminiscent way of thinking that was not so focused on the technologies and future. It is also characterized by a heightened interest in nature, emphasis on the individual’s expression of emotion and imagination and the departure from the attitudes and forms of classicism.
