Hiroshi Sugimoto is one of the pioneers of fine art photography in the 1070s. You can see several interesting videos and interviews with Sugimoto during his visit to the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts. I like specially his series of architecture and seascapes.

Some photographers like to invent reality to the extreme of building it in the studio. It looks to me like a mix of cinematography and photography combined.
