Art Photography


Fine art photography refers to photographs that are created in accordance with the creative vision of the photographer as artist.  I visited the university of Brighton and the museum which was much fun and opened my vision on art photography which was very interesting
Conceptual Photography

Art Photography the artist usually uses computer effects to make the photo look life like, which is confusing but also interesting and makes people attracted to the photo itself. Adding colours make the painting and image more striking. The lighting, darkness colour and shades of an image creates great beauty in the photo This involves and image painting or drawing  which the artists makes a photograph idea look make believe and editing to create the desired effect for the image. artist that do not use computer editing usually add props to make the image look how they want it to be seen. The photographs o saw in both of the galleries were very interesting although some of them I couldn’t quite understand but I understood some of the concepts the photographer was trying to show.

Context
Art photography usually involves  many different things like  such as style, quality, colour and texture and a variety of other things. The type of photo is important as that is what the photographer is also trying to catch the eye of the audience so they can see the different emotions in the photo

Texture
In art photography the photographer uses computer effects to make something seem more life like, which can make people confused whilst looking at the picture due to the different textures and lighting in a photo and make it look more like a painting.

Portraiture



Portraiture photography is often usually to show the personality and even the mood of the photography. Portraiture photo is not a snapshot, but used to show an image of a person in a fixed position. A portrait usually shows a person looking straight at the camera. Portraiture photography try to capture an image that was not show on the camera. In the 60's the wealthy people wanted their wealth to be shown in the image so they could put on a superior look than others.



Annie Mac PortraitPortraitMichael is well known for his portraits of musicians, including The Killers, Oasis, Kasabian, La Roux, Ian Brown, Pixie Lott, Kaiser Chiefs, and Portishead to name just a few, and other celebrities from the worlds of sport, film, and music. Portraits are usualy shot in black and white, although using colour is a more modern thing.

Portraiture is common in everyday things in life. Advertisers use portraiture to advertise magazines. Companies and businesses like to use portraiture more than landscape as it does not take as much space as a portrait photo.

The style of texture is a main character in portraiture photography to make it noticeable, to compliment the texture to the background. Photographer may add effective texture to the whole of the image to create an impact..
 Portraiture it was mostly used for people from royal backgrounds, dukes and duchesses used as they could choose what they wore and what they looked like. To emphasize their wealth.

Fashion Photography

Introduction to Fashion photography

Photography was developed in the 1830.Fashion photography made its first appearance in French magazines such as La mode practique. In 1909, Condé Nast took over Vogue magazine and contributed to the beginnings of fashion photography. Adolf de Meyer, who shot his models in natural environments and poses. Vogue was followed by, Harper's Bazaar, and the two companies were leaders in the field of fashion photography during the 1920s and 1930s

 Irving Penn

Irving Penn studied at the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art  from which he was graduated in 1938. Penn's drawings were published and he also painted. As his career in photography blossomed, he became known for World War II feminine chic and glamour photography.


Penn Photographs still life objects in different arrangements. His images were clear and he used great clarity and detail. Many times his photographs were so ahead of their time that they only came to be appreciated as important works in the modernist canon years after their creation.  A series of posed nudes whose physical shapes range from thin to plump were shot in 1949-1950, but were not exhibited until 1980.









Ruth Harriet Louise January 13, 1903 - 1940 was an American professional photographer, the first woman photographer active in Hollywood. Ruth was  twenty two years old,alothough her carrer only last for five years and as the only woman working as a portrait photographer for the Hollywood.studios.




Techniques
Each photographer has their own techniques but most of the time the picture depends on the make up, lighting and model. If the make artist is not right the picture will not have the 3 dimensional effects it should because with the help of makeup it can create this. Make up contour of the model’s face which creates a 3 dimentionalality of the face without a great make up artist the photo will not be a great shot. Shadow on the makeup on the back and highlights on the front

Lighting for fashion is very soft unless it is very unusual. Most lighting for fashion has a soft box and is very frontal. General Fashion is done with a light background as you are usually showing off the clothing. Trying to sell something to a client you are not selling a face to a portrait person. We need to remember that most of the images are edited and photoshoped which is not the actual face of the model it is what the photographer wants to portray

photojournalism





My idea of photo jornalisim is that in the early 90s Henri Cartier- Bresson who was a french photographer although he consider himself as a painter, he was the first photographer to use a lecia camera. The lecia camera was invented in 1925 in Germany, it was quiet and compact so therefore it took pictures quietly, snapping them in the moment (istant photography). Henri Cartier- Bresson ws a surrealist meaning behind the pictures he took there was a meaning to each of them. He would wait till he was ready to snap the picure in the moment he thought was correct. One of his most famous pictures which was taking in paris in 1933, which was called the unknown. It was an image of a man jumping over a puddle ( decisive moment).Decisive moments are when an image is taken unprepared in the moment that if you were going to take the picture a second before the picture would mean nothing compared to what it would be the second after. He was the person who made the decisive moment popular


Robet Cappa was sent to World War 2, he worked for Life Magazine. In the war he worked as a photo journalist, he took pictures which told a story of the war. His pictures seemed to bring us closer and closer to war given us a clear picture of each moment in the war through his eyes. He Caught a personal image a soildier being shot, this image was taken in high risk as bullets were being shot out everywhere. Although this image may just look like a soldier being shot but if he was to take this picture a second before this image would not be capable as the solider would be dead


























The techniques of Henri cartier- besson was usually finding a spot and waiting for something or someone to pop up like is famous image 'behind the gare St.lazare.
By using the lecia camera he was able to capture the moment by using any other camera he would not be able to do this.

Portraiture

Portraiture photography is often used to emphasize the likeness of a personality and even the mood of the photography. A portraiture photo is usually not a snapshot, but creates an image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking straight at the camera. Most of the photography try to capture an expression that was not shown  on the camera. Unlike in the 60's when the rich wants there expression to be shown on the camera therefore they would put on a look the expresses their wealth instead of a look natural.
