Celebrating a Legacy, Rebuilding Memories: Andy Fredlund Photography Returns to Ft. Myers Beach After 50 Years

FMB - Ft. Myers Beach, FL: For half a century, Andy Fredlund's photography has been an integral part of Ft. Myers Beach, meticulously documenting its history and vibrant spirit since 1975. Now, even after the destructive force of Hurricane Ian in 2022 threatened to erase local memory, Andy's foresight in safeguarding his original 1975 negatives ensures that the past will not be forgotten. As Ft. Myers Beach rebuilds, a demand for authentic historical imagery from waterfront restaurants seeking to enrich the tourist experience has emerged.

This year marks the reopening of Andy Fredlund's photography business, offering a rich archive of historical images in various formats, including striking wall murals of the iconic Fort Myers Beach Shrimp Fleet.

Our Guiding Vision

Inspired by the timeless artistry of the Old Masters, both in painting and photography, my creative journey began in the dynamic world of 1970s photojournalism. Covering political campaigns, including President Gerald Ford's, offered invaluable early experiences. 

Now, celebrating 50 years behind the lens, a recent reflection on past images has brought a profound realization: the essence of photography, and perhaps life itself, lies in the concept of time – far beyond mere fractions of a second.

Why Own Original Art? 

Owning original art offers a unique blend of aesthetic pleasure, personal expression, and potential investment. It's not just about decorating a space, but about acquiring a piece of history, supporting artists, and creating a deeper emotional connection to your surroundings. Original art can also appreciate in value over time, making it a potentially valuable investment.
Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:

1. Uniqueness and Authenticity: Original art is a one-of-a-kind creation, unlike mass-produced prints. It's a tangible representation of an artist's vision and skill, offering a level of authenticity that prints cannot replicate.

2. Emotional and Intellectual Connection: Art can evoke strong emotions and spark intellectual curiosity. Owning an original piece allows you to connect with the artist's story, their inspiration, and the unique qualities of their work.

3. Investment Potential: While not always a guaranteed return, some original art pieces can appreciate in value, especially those by emerging or established artists. Factors like an artist's career trajectory, the quality of the artwork, and market trends can influence its value.

4. Supporting Artists and Local Communities: Purchasing original art directly supports the artist and their creative endeavors, contributing to the vibrancy of the art community.

5. Personal Expression and Character: Art can be a powerful way to express your personality and style, transforming a space into a reflection of your taste and interests.

6. Cultural Significance: Original art often reflects the historical, social, and cultural context in which it was created, offering insights into different eras and artistic movements.

7. Durability and Lasting Value: Many art mediums, like Archival prints, paintings and sculptures, are durable and can last for generations, making them a long-term investment.

8. Unique Textures and Colors: Original art often features textures, colors, and effects that are difficult to capture in prints.

9. Provenance and Authenticity: Original art typically comes with a certificate of authenticity and information about its history, ensuring its provenance.
