Intro To Photography

 In this photgraphy part of the course, i hope to look at a range of really interesting photos, i particularly like real life captured photos which get you thinking and sometimes look really abstract at the same time.








This photo is from the artist Robert Capa this photo is really different and quite odd because the two children are on their own there parents are no where to be seen and are seen to be walking through some woodland area.










This photo is taken by Ansel Adams i found this photo really interesting because of the clouds which are forming in the sky and clouds often form very weird and interessting shapes, i also like the landscape in this photo.

The last photo is by Henri Cartier Bresson, i think this is probably a real photo, and quite amazing how the trees have grown in this place.

Potraiture

Application: Portraiture oringinally had big money involved for artists painting pictures of royality, before the camera was invented, after the camera it was much more common to have a portrait picture and far cheaper. Portraiture started to become particularly more experimaental into the 90's. The defination of Potraiture is how the view of the picture horizontal instead of a lenghtways image which is often the layout of any potrait picture to have more of the person in better focus to a landscape image.


Context: Below ive listed and explained each photographers individually, these where some of the biggest, most powerful artists for the is genre of photography and some of the originators aswell.

This is a photo from Diane Arbus, she was a photographer in New York in 1960s, she exposed, vulnerable people. Diane herself was a curious character with a pleasant personality. Diane unfotunately commited suicide and took her life in 1971. It was believed that she just didn't get enough from her work and felt discontent to carry on because she could not capture the right images.

In 1969 she was hired by the Konrad Matthaeis and his family, they were quite a rich family,  this one of the best pictures that shows the moods captured in her work with this family. Diane would always capture more interessting moods and shots, her photos were not flattering, not smiling, ordinary family photos. In this photo espically the young girl of the family Marcella looks very distaraught, her eyes really look deep into you and you start to wonder what she was thinking at the time. She would often capture a slightly scary, physcho look. She used black and white photography, with very plain backgrounds to make us focus on the person and their emotions.

This is photo from Walker Evans this photo was taken during the 1930s-40s the years of the great depression which you can guess anyway. This photo in my opinion really hits hard and tells you just hard these times, the emotions alone in the faces shows them very worried and fed up, with a bleak future to look forward to. Walker was born in 1903 and died in 1975.

This is work from Larry Clark, was quite a reckless character, his lifestlye was made up from drug abuse and sex. He documented his life by photography, making a diary of his extreme past times, the book made of his photos was published in 1971. HIs shots are very cinematic and crude, not covering up anything showing nudity, being very graphic. This photo is a close up not showing all of his head and feet, almost masking off some of the picture, could also make u think about if he is about to do it or already have done. This photo really captures the isolation of the mood aswell.

Techniques: The photographers used black and white photography and often dull backgrounds to really create emotions in the characters and pinpoint our intention to just the characters within the image as explained above. No photo manipulation was done or extra lightning added by the look of it either.

Fashion Photography

Photography started in 1830s, fashion photography first made its appearance in the early 1900s. Edward Steichen was one of the first to try and premote fashion by photography. Baron Adolf de Meyer was another big photographer in the is time period who began shooting models in a natural environment. Harpers Bizarre was also leading Fashion Photographer, these two rivaled through the 1920-30s. Another few names worth mentioning who really help develop fashion photography are George Hoyningen-Heune, Horst P Horst and Cecil Beaton.

Application : Photography is the displaying of items and clothing in the fashion range, a feminine dominated genre,  fashion photography is usually used in fashion magazines like Vogue and Allure and a huge market for advertisement.

Context: Fashion photography is compared important because its an deep expression in art and shows the lastest fashion crazes and style to the public, the main form of fashion photography is by magazines, but TV adverts and buildboards for make up and other items use the style of photography and images.
 Techniques: There are always many techniques for Photography, a heavy amount of modern day photography is done in a studio with powerful lighting and make-up improving the complexion of the skin, then second stage is often Adobe Photoshop where the photo can be completely altered and manipulated, making the models look like angels. Whereas old traditional photography captures a more authentic, cinematic view of the models and possesses much more emotion and feeling.

Photojournalism

Application: Photojournalism is the use of photos to tell a news story. Newspapers started printing photos with stories regularly in the 1880s. Henri Cartier-Bresson is classed as the real founded behind photojournalism in the 1930s. Robert Capa and Tony Vaccaro, tony is one of the bigest photographers of the World War II era.

Context: Above is a picture taken by Robert Capa and the other on the right, higher up is by Tony Vaccaro both had unique styles, Robert captioned action shots during the war, his work spanned from the Spanish Civil War- to the second sino Japanese war, World War II, 1948 Arab Israeli War and the first Indochia war. Whereas Tony Vaccaro was a soilder fighting in the Second World War who also took photos when he wasnt fighting.

Techniques: Robert Capas work tried to capture movement and people in action, really creating tension and using the photo to really give us an idea of what these wars were like, Tony Vecarros work was more still, the photos captured war time subjects like Roberts work but expressed it in a different way, more shocking, dramatic and big landscape shots with more people. But both photographers created interesting, unique work and reminds us of the horrible conditions people went through.

Art Photography Post

Application: Photography is a huge component of art, using photos to express meanings, shows history, to capture bizarre, abstract concepts, advertise and much more. In conceptional photography it is all about expressing a concept or message through the image.

Context: The Artists use photo editing and trick photography to make these bizarre weird ideas come to life, also the use of blurred out backgrounds and objects used in the background to help tell the story of the picture. The use of different types of background are also used, real life landscapes and studios, depending on what the artist has as a concept. 


Techniques: Early artists like Josef Heinreich didnt have photoshop like artists today, he used real photos and placed them on paintings and other photos. Modern day artists use photoshop to create this effects, placing lights which arnt ther distort the images and blurring the background using a range of different tools. And inserting other objects or photos and merging them together.
