To be able to capture a perfect photograph one will have to understand how lighting , angle , third rule affect a photograph. Not only are there different types of ways to take photographs but different types of photography.

Another significant reason that has played a vital role in photojournalism of recent times is the emergence of imaging technologies. Imaging technologies has undoubtedly played a major part in the works of a photojournalist today. Based on earlier accounts on how photography itself is an inherent manipulation, the question is no longer directed on ‘how has imaging technologies manipulate photojournalism' but ‘how much more has imaging

While emotions were extremely high in the sense of angst for a better life, photography provided a new sense of reality to Americans and for others around the World. Photography all around the World is unlike anything else of its kind. People are able to tell stories and elicit emotions that bring the audience to that desired response. Throughout the 1930’s, photography from governmental institutions or advancements alone brought a new beginning to the end of a terrible time that Americans all around the nation

A reoccurring topic of the essays, concerning photography, discussed during the course is the future of professional photographers/photojournalists. Some believe that the easily accessible spread of amateur photography can and has put a strain on the works of professionals. However, with magazines such as National Geographic still in print after over a century, it raises some questions. Though the spread of information, and thus photography, has increased the platforms and need for professional photographers and photojournalists still exists.

The Photographer and His Camera Since the invention of the camera in 1839, photography has transformed the entire nature of art in that it brought about a great revolution of the traditional arts, pushing it from depictions of a world we already knew to expressions of inward gestures and creativity. Photography conveniently replaced with images the words that were once essential to describing a visual. These images are in fact very different in nature from the continuous action of television, as well as the timeless sculpture. Abolishing the concept of time and space, the technology of the photo is thus fabricated by the desire to give permanence to daily feelings and experience.

Sense the invention of the camera in 1826 photography has been used to document everything from family portraits, social injustice, sporting events, world news, expressions of joy and sorrow, and hundreds of monumental moments. The camera has given man the power to reveal the truth visually. Throughout history photographs have made enormous impacts on social consciousness and ultimately shaped public opinion on many pressing issues in society. Although photography is often considered a casual pastime, the invention of the camera has contributed to many aspects of history, science, and other important pieces of todays world.

Photography has come into existence due to the evolution of the renaissance craft, which often involved the artistic creation, and documentation of occasions, figures, and memories. Photography as a practice that consists of so many different styles and techniques that vary in regard to the school of photography being used. For example the Pictorialist thinks of photography as a type of fine art and therefore try to make it artistic by using pictures or visual images, which furthermore establishes their point that photography is an art or a form of fine art, on the other hand the Modernist has adapted to the modern techniques which has more focus on the sharp center of the image and using the camera as an instrument rather than seeing it as a canvass which is usually how pictorialists see it, and they also believe in creating very high quality images which

The purpose of my study is to give people a chance to understand what is the meaning of photography and how it was invented, plus how people was able to take photographs before the camera was invented.

Photography serves many purposes and since its invention people have used it for many different reasons, but mostly for

Firstly, it captures the beauty of arts, people, and nature. In fact, it captures the soul of every living creature that escapes the people’s naked eye, permeating the core of their hearts. It enlivens prosaic sceneries and environs. That being said, photography makes people see the beauty and magnificence of God’s creation. This world is such a beautiful dwelling, and it just takes lenses to show it to the people who have the deepest appreciation of arts and beauty of nature, and even to those who have not grasped yet how stunning

From 1870-1910, western society saw more technological progress than in the previous four centuries. During this period, inventions such as photography, sound recording, telephone, the motor car and the airplane indicated the start of a new age. Photography had begun to

While men have been consistently involved in family photography for decades, and are ultimately responsible for the establishment of family photography as fine art, “family photography” as a genre is assumed today to be “women’s work.” There is in fact a prominent and compelling collection of photographic work that exists and illustrates the way men capture family within a frame. For better or worse, male photographers were crucial in the establishment of family photography being accepted as a genre of fine art photography. Family photography can serve as a means to form a human connection. While the darkest moments of family life might not be included in a family album they are relatable at the deepest, purest level. Male and female family photographers alike were responding to a need to depict domestic pains felt through the universality of family. The images retained within a family album diverge from fine art photographs because they attempt to only memorialize the idealized stories of childhood and family travels and traditions. The ways men and women grapple with public and private spaces are inherently very different. Consequently, the perception of family work that brings the private to their eyes of the public falls along gender

Since its inception, photography has been used to capture moments in time all around the world. This wonderful technology has existed since ancient times, and has only improved in recent history, changing society in the process.

Pictorialism was a movement during the beginning of photography that “approached the camera as a tool that… could be used to make an artistic statement” ( Britannica Academic, 2016). It focused on subject beauty and usually incorporated soft focus rather than a documentation of reality. Jerry Uelsmann is a pioneering photographer that “broke ranks” (Hershberger, 2014) with the previous generation of photographers who advocated for ‘straight photography’. The previous generation had also tried to break away from ‘pictorialist’ photography while also ridiculing it, but Uelsmann “revived and expanded Pictorialist-era techniques” (Hershberger, 2014), mainly through a medium called ‘photomontage’. This form of photomontage was created by combining multiple exposures in the darkroom. Modernist photography (also known as ‘straight photography’) expanded virally, encompassing exemplary forms of sharpness and accurate exposure, but Uelsmann’s concept of the photomontage created a new era of postmodernism for the photographer.

Susan Sontag said photographs sends across the harmlessness and helplessness of the human life steering into their own ruin. Furthermore the bond connecting photography with departure from life tortures the human race. (Sontag 1977:64)
