A key issue within photographic practice and culture is the establishment of perspective regarding the influence that the self and the underlying aesthetic preferences and expectations that are brought to the art. These preferences demonstrate an essential aspect of valuation in regards to not only the perceptions that are held by those viewing the art and their understanding of beauty but also the level of awareness or unawareness that the photographer has in their composition and viewpoint at the point of the photograph's creation. The idea of the unawareness about the self-knowing as a common phenomenon in our society, ...

Ever since the 1920s and 1930s, the allure and absorption with the metropolitan life and the images related to it has resulted in an increased interest in the artistic rendition of urban images in various forms (Alifragkis and Penz 221). Whether in the moving image works of famous urban story tellers, such as Woody Allen, or still image works of admired photographers, such as Eugene Atgets and Man Ray, the interest in urban images is here to stay. The purpose of urban photography can be said to create visual appeal than summarizes the dynamics of modernity in an open ...

History

Fashion photography is the use of a photograph to display clothing or accessories. Typically, fashion photography has a marketable intent as it is used in documenting or selling the particular fashion in the photo. Fashion photography has the ability to expose attitudes, ambitions, sense of taste of time, visions, desires, values, sexuality and self-image.

There are many photographers that I admire, so it took me a while to choose only one to write about. Finally, I stopped my choice on an inspiring modern wildlife photographer and a winner of a number of BBC Wildlife awards, Nature’s Best and European Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards Andy Rouse. I believe he is the one who influenced me the most.
I admire Andy Rouse not only for his amazing talent, but also for his outgoing and sincere personality. I think he is the main figure to shape the global animal photography nowadays. Unlike many of his ...

Abstract

Use of photography as a medium of propaganda has been a much-debated subject. After all, the term propaganda holds a negative implication to it.

Entry 1: Background of art

Art is very expansive and takes in different disciplines. The basic aim of arts is to express life, events and happenings that surround humanity. Arts date as back as civilization and this is evident from information collected by archaeologists and historians. During early years of evolution, man did paintings on the wall not only for the purpose of decoration but also as a way of recording events in life. Apart from this, the early man also appreciated bodily decorations. As time went by man continued to develop arts by adding new styles and techniques. This saw the diversification of arts ...

Introduction

Over the last 200 years, we as a society have gone through many changes. We’ve seen two wars on our own soil, 9 monarchs and 54 prime ministers. We’ve even seen the Chanute's hang glider of 1896, and we can now compare the first steps of the invention to what is now an aeroplane. Although there aren’t many of us in London now who were present for the 1st World War or the 2nd, photographs of soldiers in their trenches are available for the worlds viewing. The subject of death in photography has also been treated with ...

Whether in the moving image works of famous urban story tellers, such as Woody Allen, or the still image works of admired photographers, such as Eugene Atgets and Man Ray, the interest in urban images is here to stay. I feel that the purpose of urban photography is to create visual appeal that summarizes the dynamics of modernity in an open or closed manner. Urban photography is a bold and formal experiment with the iconography of urban landscapes, and can be described as “city symphonies.” Thus, I view urban photography as a serious form of art. Yet, because urban images can ...

Autobiographical Essay

The most interesting and engaging stories in our life do not necessarily have to do with the principal milestones. One gets invaluable experience and life lessons in the course of daily life and sometimes a usual day can leave unforgettable impressions in mind forever. Growing-up and gradual moving into adulthood includes a lot of transformations and changes in our mindset, attitudes and way of thinking. Life lessons are quite bitter and in some situations I have felt really uncomfortable, ashamed, awkward and even miserable, but this is the way wisdom and endurance come into our life. Nobody is excellent ...

Atget’s was a commercial photographer working in the 1890’sand early 1900’s in France. He started taking images as studies for artists, and later expanded his work to create basic visual records. It was not until his work was considered, posthumously, and through the response of other photographers, like Berenice Abbot, to his work, that his photography was considered for its artistic value, rather than simply as commercial work, As a result, his work experienced a significant revival, including the analysis of the works, as a whole, and separating the works into seven individual albums, through the ...

There are no definite answers to what makes a "Good Photograph?" and why is it that some photos are able to leave an impression while others are not. There could be no single answer to the question or hundreds of different opinions. The purpose of the essay is to look at the technical concepts that work behind a photographic image and how they impact the final results. A good photographer must know everything about aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, the exposure and other technicalities to be confident about the results. Anybody can click and take pictures. However, one ...

Photography Manifestos

Photography has always been an art of capture, the unique ability to captivate the viewer with a skillfully done shot, to enchant them with a single momentary instance, never to be repeated again. It could turn each fleeting second of life into a masterpiece for the viewer to revisit over and over again. Ever since photography was created as an art form, a vast number of schools of art have tried to encapsulate the purpose of photography, to encompass its meaning and goal with respect to art, culture, and self-expression of an individual. Among them were the Futurists, the ...

A picture is worth a thousand words, definitely pictures can express human thoughts, emotions and dreams that can never be uttered by the lips. Back then, people can record physical appearance and historical events through paintings. On the other hand, a Frenchman named Joseph Niepce took the first permanent photograph in 1827 (Madgwick, 28). Photography made it easier for people to record history without resorting to paint the entire scenery that they see. Rich men and women, especially those who belong to the aristocracy choose photography for their personal portraits; adding a touch of modernism to their noble countenance. In short, the ...

The artist

Christian Paul Kunsch was born in Hagen in the North German state of Westphalia. He is primarily a husband and father but is also a photographer and Taoist for good measure, also describing himself as ‘European’ on his website. His work which is chiefly in black and white is basically inspired by the work of Bernard Plossu, Francoise Nunez, Henri Cartier Bresson and Lucien Herve. However he claims other influences such as the music of Radiohead, Thom Yorke and Max Richter. Another source of inspiration is Wim Wenders, the film director whose movie, ‘Wings of Desire’ is an important part of ...

In photography, light and color are arguably the most important considerations to a photographer. In fact, any photograph, whether taken in natural light or through the warm radiance of an incandescent light, always captures the effect of light on objects. When light falls on an object, the object absorbs a given proportion of the color spectrum and ultimately reflects back the remaining colors. The portion of the color spectrum that fails to be absorbed but is reflected back is usually the color of the object as it appears to the human eye. Surprisingly, both the artificial incandescent and the natural light ...

Photography and death:

Introduction:
Death in photography has always been a controversial subject and this continues to elucidate comments especially when considering the ethical implications of photography itself. Nostalgia is also an important element of photography and this has been revealed in several artist’s work most notably those like Sally Mann and Luc Delahaye who have both treated the subject of death with some detail especially in their portrayal of dead and decomposing bodies. When one writes about death in photography, we also have to deal with the ‘death of the subject’. After we press the shutter the subject 'dies' at ...

Chapter two of Clarke’s “The Photograph” addresses the subject of photography in the nineteenth century. It highlights ways in which photography sought to mimic painting in some aspects such as mixing prints by Gustave (43). There was also some form of selectivity; for instance, London could be portrayed as individual buildings or as an extensive chaos. The second chapter equally documents the advent of travel photography that enabled people to record various traditions globally as well as impose their various cultural perspectives. As Clarke notes “to photograph is to give evidence to the facts” According to Clarke’s ...

Berenice Abbott

Q1.
The view of Seventh Avenue comes across as artistic since the photograph carries several elements of artistic expression in images. Among the elements, texture is captured through the angle chosen, where the contours made by the buildings represent the diversity of the city. Light use is artistic, with the street surface being lighter, thus easily marking it out (Sonnentaga, Hufkens, and Teshera-Sternea, 165). This perspective of the city would thrill a New Yorker, by giving them a perspective of the city from above the ground.
Q2.
Abbot means photography that attempts to be as representative as possible to ...

Art & architecture

Martin Parr is a British documentary photographer who is well known for his direct photographic style. He is much appreciated for his way of tackling subjects of bad taste with a wit and irony. He has been collecting boring postcards for over two decades1 that have been reproduced straight and compiled them in a photobook, which was the method used by photographers to show their work. Those postcards of boring places are shot in Britain and lack any point of interest and are narrative, carrying no text. What makes the photographic images compelling is the resultant collection that sheds ...

Preamble

"I didn't want to make 'high' art, I had no interest in using paint, I wanted to find something that anyone could relate to without knowing about contemporary art.

Photography is one of those activities which can be categorised as art and science, both. It has been a fascinating art and quite a beneficial science.

This is a story of Barbara, a quiet, dull woman, and her daughter Sophie. It is also a testimony of life in England during and after World War II. The story, however, is not a description of the tragic side of the war. That story has already been depicted so many times in numerous novels. On the contrary, this story is about how the war affected the daily lives of those who stayed at home, who were initially terrified of its effects but eventually became fatalistically used to it later. More importantly, it is the story of two generations ...

Abstract
Forensic photography is one of the four popular methods of documenting a crime scene. Together with videotaping, sketching and note taking, it constitutes an important part of the investigative and judicial process. Today’s court practice reveals that the photos taken by the forensic expert are often the only reliable, yet sufficient evidence to make the triumph of justice possible. In addition, not only the role of forensic photographers is critical in the context of recording and preserving lopus delicti evidence, but also these professionals are frequently summoned to a courtroom to give their professional opinion regarding authenticity ...

Environmental sociology is a sociological discipline that is aimed at the research, analysis and communication of the diverse societal and environmental interactions, and may take into account the diverse interactions among human societies and their environment (Environmental).

The Muses of Greek Mythology

Creative people such as artists, writers and musicians often use phrases such as “I need a visit from my muse” or “my muse was the inspiration for this poem (or other work of art).” The idea and concept of the modern day muse comes from ancient mythology. Greece’s most powerful God, Zeus had many children but nine of his daughters, were unique from the others because they were the muses. Each of the nine daughters possessed unique and divine powers and a love of knowledge. Each sister was beautiful in her own way and all of them were very smart ...

Introduction

Photographs save moments. The most efficacious and optimum images provided in the news capture the viewer.

The book The Book of Chamelions by Jose Eduardo Agualusa opens to a map of Angola, thus leaving its readers no doubt as to where the story occurs. Its first few pages are told from the point of view of Eulalio, the gecko who has been living in the house and is the witness to everything that goes on and everyone that goes in and out of the house. He intimidated that the master of the house, Felix Ventura, is an albino, of which the gecko thinks has developed “a thread of friendship” between them from watching the sun ...

According to Berger, there is a relationship in the way we see and talk. He argues that before talking one must see to form the words describing what he sees. Berger believes that we view art in a different way than we did in the past. The main reason for us to see art in a different way is because we have introduced technology into our lives (Berger, 35). The way things were viewed in the past was also different because one could only view a certain painting in the same size and shape. The painting could not also ...

1. Introduction
It is difficult to limit a discussion of Alfred Stieglitz to just one profession, let alone just one artistic movement within the field of photography. He is one of the main figures in the art world in the first half of the twentieth century. In addition to his work with images, he was also an editor, collector, speaker, art dealer, gallery owner – and the husband and publicist of the painter Georgia O’Keeffe. Overall, though, he was the premier photographer of the first half of the twentieth century in the United States.

The documentary provides viewers with in-depth insight into the inspirations, personal life, and work ethics of Avedon.

Richard Avedon appears to be a photographer who is really in tune with himself. It is easy to be impressed by Avedon, mainly because of his never ...

In a word, the photographer is the bold independent who has broken loose from tradition and asserted his individuality, not by the cultivation of his hand and his brain and his eye, that these three unruly members may work together to produce the harmony the artist almost despairs of; no, by sticking his head into a black box, and at the crucial moment letting a machine do everything for him.
He sees what he likes, for he has been taught what to like be reading books upon painting, which he does not understand, and which nothing for him; he prepares his ...

The world of modern photography knows a few examples of outstanding photographers who take their photojournalistic calling very seriously. Jacob Riis, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Dorothea Lange, are only some of the top names which along with documenting heartbreaking human condition dictated the standard in documentary photography. Luckily, the demand for it never ceased; therefore, the legacy continued with new names paving the way out of the 20th and into the 21 century. Such photographers as Gerd Ludwig and Ernest Cole have massively contributed to the heritage of human history through their photographs.
Both photographers, Gerd Ludwig and Ernest Cole, were ...

Purpose

The purpose of the collection by Dorothea Lange was to depict the life in the early days of camp, a period when barracks were under construction, classrooms were not arranged orderly and the internees led a very uncertain life. The aim of the curator was to catch the semi-tragic life that her subjects led.

Question at Issue

Is the depiction of the life that the women lead as seen in the collection an accurate representation of the state of affairs in the barracks? This question is important because Dorothea Lange was a photographer with zeal, and her work in this collection captured the semi-tragic life ...

Part 1.

Bazin explains that photographic lens is a true reflection of the world. The lens automatically creates an image that is real and that is captured as it was.

He goes further and argues that photography give satisfaction to an individual’s deep need for reality or precisely termed as realism. In the image chosen, the pictures give a true image of the world, for instance, in the first ...

Ansel Addams

If were to be photographed, my photographer of choice would be Ansel Adams. This person was both a photographer as well as an environmentalist. This photographer gave more emphasis and focus on the environment and this gave him an opportunity to explore into the environmental factors and forces in relation to the photography and the general landscape of the environment concerned. He took most of his photographs at the national park since he liked association with the environment and this gave him a field or platform to enhance his skills. His creativity in relation to the quality of the print made ...

The idea of representation has long been a difficult one in the history of human culture. Representation involves two separate actions: seeing and creating. Both of these contain complex semiotic processes that must occur within the mind, which means that the result of representation can vary significantly from one person to the next, or even from one point in time to another for the same person. In the case of sculpture, the process of seeing takes on one of two forms: actual visual interplay with a subject or imaginary conception of a subject. Even if the subject is already real and stands ...

Social media has evolved over the years, this being credited to, among other reasons, technological advancements. Social media has its pros and cons.

Modernism became a genre of photography in the early 1900s, when photographers desired to distinguish themselves from their pictorial counterparts in both medium and intended audience effect. This paper will examine a photograph of a well-known modernist photographer, Alfred Stieglitz, and discuss the elements of the composition that make it part of the modernism era.

Photographers adhering to the modernist ideals of the early twentieth century believed that photography should distinguish itself from the medium of painting because paintings were not as true to real life as photographs could be. Therefore, modernist photographers did not produce works of art that resembled ...
