Photography: My Relationship With Photography And Videography

Early Landscape photography used the same principles as painters in order to create pieces of art. Before the 18th Century, artists used landscapes as backdrops and as a frame for the principal subject. Towards the later part of the century, however, artists such as Nicolas Poussin started to romanticize the environment, instead using it as a principle subject in paintings.

The word photography originates from the Greek words “photos” (which means light) and “graphein” (meaning to draw). Although photography was being studied as early as 330 B.C., the first photograph wasn’t taken until 1827. In 1889, George Eastman invented film rolls. Today, however, most people use digital. (“Career Facts,” Lansing Community College). Digital cameras open a whole new world, making it easy to transfer photos electronically over to computers, hard drives, and other devices. When the picture is transferred to the computer, it can be modified in softwares such as photoshop. Photoshop is used frequently in advertising and by any photographer who desires a change in the

Practiced by thousands who shared no common tradition or training from the earliest days of taking photos, the first photographers were disciplined and united by no academy or guild, who considered their medium variously as a trade, a science, an art, or an entertainment, and who often were unaware of each other’s work. Exactly as it sounds photography means photo-graphing. The word photography comes from two Greek words, photo, or “light”, and graphos, or drawing and from the start of photography; the history of the aforementioned has been debated. The idea of taking pictures started some thirty-one thousand years ago when strikingly sophisticated images of bears, rhinoceroses, bison, horses and many other types of creators were

As I mentioned before that all the references and bibliographies have the same information about how photography was before it got invented and about how did photography started and how it got developed from year to year and from century to century. From that time until today Photography has developed too much and I believe it will keep on developing from day to day and from year to year. Photography became so much easier than before, there is a huge difference between cameras these days and cameras from that time, and only god knows what they will invent and how it will be developed more in the coming

In our Unit 2 reading, it explains the art of photography and how it has really complimented paintings an artwork from painters such as Paul Delaroche. As many artists thought that “arts of painting” and “arts of photography” would leave little room for the creative representations painters and photographers provide. However, it turned out that Delaroche and many other were wrong and paintings and photos still thrive.

Many people can pinpoint the exact moment that influences them to follow a certain life path. For me, going to college in New York and becoming a photographer has been an innate part of my life. I entered my first photography competition in the third grade and have been lusting over the big city longer than anyone can remember. Although I am unsure where this plan stemmed from, everything in my life has been geared towards this goal.

There is only one way to make people immortal. Photography is the process in which one writes with light. Photographs are permanent images of people or things. Photography wasn't always as easy as a click of a button and there you go. It took an immense amount of work to get to the modern day camera. Photography started from experiments made by people to create new ways to communicate through creating permanency in photographs, making prints of photographs and advancing to the modern day camera. Small ideas grew into large projects. Trial and error evolved into what we have today.

Imagine seeing a photo shared with you, and in your head you think, you could have done that a lot better. That person had a camera accessible, and they had the perfect timing. People use what they have and if they are dedicated enough the outcome can become stunning. To some people spend thousands on cameras and accessories can really be useful, to others a phone with a built in camera works fine. Every detail that is put into a picture can tell a story those stories can never be compared to something written. Despite the fact that living in the moment is a big part of this generation, carrying around cameras is also a big part of living.

I have loved photography with a passion since the first day I took a picture. It all started when my parents gave me my first camera. I was very young, only seven or eight years old. It was your classic simple disposable film camera. It didn’t matter to me though; it was the coolest piece of technology I had ever seen. Within a few days of taking picture I used up all the film and was ready to go out and get it developed. A couple days past and my pictures came in the mail. From that day forward I’ve spent a lot of my time perfecting my techniques and final products. Over the years I switched from film photography to digital single-lens reflex photography and started shooting on many different cameras. My parents saw my passion so they invested

Digital is great for color and can be pretty good for black and white also but in order to add the three dimensional sharpness. Most of the black and white cameras sold today are second hand from the 90s. Digital cameras have color sensor dots to sense the color while producing a picture. Today film photography is of two broad types; these include

Photography is a very interesting career choice. It can take people to places they only ever dreamt of going. Although it is a lot of fun, it is also a lot of work. There is many different types of equipment, lighting, cameras, and photographers. You must learn about it all in order to choose the perfect type of photography you want to do. Photography, is not just about capturing photos of objects, it is about how photographers see the world. Being a photographer, there are many responsibilities you must have. For starters, photographers have to be able to market and/or advertis. This will help them to attract customers or clients. On top of being able to market and advertise, they must also be able to analyze and plan compositions of

In 1888, George Eastman made the first light and portable camera under the company name Kodak (Graham 28). These cameras gave people the ability to take a photo almost anywhere. The cameras had to be sent back to the factory so the photographs could be printed. Twenty years after Kodak’s first camera, they produced an improved camera, called “Brownie”. The Brownie was simple to use, making the art of photography boom. Flash cameras did not appear until the 1930s, letting people take pictures in areas with dim or little lighting. In 1947, Edwin Land invented the instant camera. Land got the idea after his daughter asked to see her picture after he took her photo. The next step in improving the camera was by making it digital, which was done in 1975 by a Kodak employee. As the camera gets smaller and simpler to use, the quality of the photographs it produces gets better.

What is a photograph? The simplicity of taking a photograph leads many to ponder its artistic value. Yet, it is undeniable that there are some photos that cause an emotional reaction deeper than simply observing a recorded point in time. Surely, there are photographs that cause more reaction than some modern art pieces. There seems to be two types of photographs. The first classification is the ‘time capture’ photo – an image with the sole purpose of recording a particular event or point in time. The second nature of a photo carries a ‘deeper meaning,’ which has the ability to change the observer’s mood and cause a reaction. But what distinguishes these two varieties? There are a

Have you ever taken a picture or been looking through a photo album and felt a sudden rush of emotion? Do you wonder what caused that emotion? Many find themselves captivated by a photograph and overwhelmed by the emotions that the photograph arouses. Believe it or not the arousal of emotion from those photographs was not caused by the content of the picture but by certain elements within the photograph. When a photograph is viewed it is not only the subject that triggers the overwhelming emotional response, it is the length of time that the film was exposed to sunlight, the way lighting is used and played with, and the strong detail of colors or lack thereof. While many believe that the subject acts as the primary stimuli to emotions, the

In the last decade computer technology has been introduced to photography yet again challenging the meaning
