Intro to camera settingsSimon Gummer
油
This document discusses the three key elements of photography: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Aperture affects depth of field, shutter speed controls movement capture, and ISO changes the camera sensor's sensitivity. Proper exposure is achieved by balancing these settings - adjusting one requires compensating the others. Metering light allows determining the correct exposure.Semiotics intro
Semiotics introSimon Gummer
油
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.Research and analysis of images

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.Research and analysis of images take 3

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.Evaluation flowchart

Composition and the rule of thirdsSimon Gummer
油
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.Portraiture [use this one for as]

The document discusses genres in art and photography. It defines genre as a category or type of artistic medium defined by its form, content, or technique. Examples of painting genres provided include landscape, portrait, abstract, and styles like expressionist or impressionist. Photography also has many genres including portrait, landscape, documentary, fine art, street photography, fashion, and more. Key genres in photography attempt to capture personality in portraiture, depict locations in landscape, document moments in time for documentary, and focus on meaning for fine art genres. Due to its versatility, photography has many genres and is hard to define as an artistic medium. Some argue this makes it difficult to consider photography a true art form.Ad
