PHOTOGRAPHY BY GENRE

CAN YOU GUESS WHICH ONE?

Exposure is determined by the amount of light recorded by a camera's sensor during photography. The three elements that determine exposure are aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. These elements work together and adjusting one affects the overall brightness of the photo. Metering a scene on a mid-tone gray allows for a properly exposed photo, while metering on black or white can result in under or overexposure if the meter reading is followed.

Semiotics introSimon Gummer

��

Semiotics sees communication as arising from cultural contexts rather than just information exchange. Meaning comes from the interaction between texts and their receivers based on shared codes within a culture. A code is a system of communication that connects signs to rules and shared understandings. Identifying codes in texts is important because codes organize communication and enable meaning, though individual meanings are negotiated. Denotation is the literal meaning of a sign, while connotation involves cultural associations that can vary between individuals. During negotiation, meaning is not fixed but depends on the decoding context. Anchorage provides a written context that orients the preferred reading of an image's signs.

The document discusses the author's investigation into the evolution of color in still life photography from the 1950s to 2010. The author will analyze photographs from each decade and compare how the use of color has changed, looking at different still life types and how color affects viewers. Still life photography allows more compositional control than genres like landscape and portraiture. Color has become a crucial part of images and influences their power and feeling. The author hopes to analyze the effectiveness of specific colors and how still life has become influential in today's society through color.

This document provides guidance for students on an externally set photography assignment. It includes: 1) A list of photography themes for students to explore, such as the built environment, fantasy, close-up, and fashion photography, alongside examples of photographers known for work in those themes. 2) An instruction to create a visual mind map around one of the themes, making notes and connections between ideas. Students are then asked to take informal test photos based on their mind maps. 3) A discussion is to be held where students share one thing they learned about two of the photography themes from their research.

Evalauations why what howSimon Gummer

��

This document provides guidance on evaluating art and design projects. It outlines three key parts of an evaluation: research and development, finals, and a self-assessment. For the research and development section, it recommends reflecting on themes, ideas development, research materials, artistic influences, techniques explored, and skills developed. For finals, it suggests analyzing formal elements, materials used, intentions vs. outcomes, layout/design, and messages conveyed. The self-assessment portion recommends justifying why evaluations are important, what to include, and how to approach them, with a focus on formal analysis and terminology. Open workshops are also recommended to set targets and work towards finalizing evaluations.

Research and analysis of imagesSimon Gummer

��

This document discusses analyzing images through their visual elements such as line, texture, pattern, shape, and form. It explains that analyzing images considers framing, composition, depth of field, lighting, meaning, and use of formal elements. When writing about an image, one should describe what is seen literally, analyze techniques used by the photographer like lighting, composition, and formal elements to uncover meaning, and evaluate if the image is effective and what it communicates. Famous photographers like Tim Walker, Don McCullin, Rankin, and Imogen Cunningham are mentioned.

This document discusses various techniques for effective photographic composition including framing, angle, perspective, symmetry, balance, space, and color. It emphasizes that composition allows photographers to convey messages and emotions through carefully framing subjects, experimenting with unique angles and perspectives, balancing elements in the frame, giving subjects space, and using color to impact mood. The document encourages photographers to view composition not as rigid rules but as tools or "ingredients" that can be utilized to create visually compelling photographs.

Line, texture, patternSimon Gummer

��

This document discusses three key elements of photography - line, texture, and pattern. It defines each element and provides examples of photographers who utilize these elements effectively in their work. Lines create depth and movement, texture refers to surface qualities, and patterns are made up of lines and shapes.

History of photographySimon Gummer

��

This document provides a history of photography from its origins to modern applications. It discusses early innovators like Niepce, Daguerre, and Talbot who developed the first photographic processes in the 1820s-1840s. The daguerreotype and calotype processes allowed photographs to be taken and reproduced. Advances like the wet plate collodion process in the 1850s led to photographs being widely used to document events like the Civil War. Photography was also used in science, medicine, industry, and to document social issues. Further innovations driven by the development of more portable cameras expanded photography's uses through the late 19th century until it became widely accessible to the public by the late 1880s.

Composition and the rule of thirdsSimon Gummer

��

The document discusses the rule of thirds in composition. The rule of thirds involves dividing an image into thirds both horizontally and vertically, creating nine equal sections. Placing subjects or key elements of a photo at the intersections of these lines can create a more balanced and appealing composition. The rule of thirds has a long history in art and is commonly used in photography, filmmaking, and other visual media because it follows conventions that audiences have come to expect. Examples are provided of tasks applying the rule of thirds to photo editing and storyboarding portrait shots for a newspaper.

FuturismSimon Gummer

��

The Futurist movement began in 1909 in Italy and was led by poet and publisher Filippo Marinetti. It celebrated modern technology and urban life, embracing speed, machinery and youth. Futurists rejected the past and traditions, seeking to propel Italy into the future. Their art focused on capturing motion, speed and dynamism through techniques like repetition and simultaneity of perspectives. Major artists included Giacomo Balla and Umberto Boccioni, whose works depicted subjects like trains, cyclists and soccer players in dynamic, overlapping forms. The Futurists' agenda also had political goals, and they advocated for war as a means of destroying the old order and ushering in the new. However,

Fine art [use this one for as]Simon Gummer
