Traditional and Digital Photography Comparison

After a steady progression, pictorial photography as a movement emerged. Pictorial photographers believed that their field is more than just an objective, mechanical media. Photography was not just about capturing the documentation and information contained by an image, but rather, about the effect and the mood they translate. The images began to have meaning and a reason for their capture, completely transforming the images produced.

As mentioned above, technology has evolved over the years and has had an impact in the art world. For example, an artist would hand draw and paint their creations and that was the only copy. Whereas, digital images can be manipulated with computer software (Lazzari and Schlesier 85). I believe that it takes away the worth of the original print. If you have access to getting the same piece of artwork online for free or a cheaper price. Then, why would you bother paying more for the original piece?

Film has revolutionized the world as we know it. In the current day and age film is quite advanced. You can watch movies with special effects and insane resolution there were never thought possible before. But film has not always been this way. Over the decades since around the 1900s when the first film was made there been amazing advances in technology and in acting. An examination of the past hundred or so years will show the amazing advances film has taken to come to what we know of it today.

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.

They can make it as simple and just colors flashing across the screen with no music, or as complex as something as Fantasia. I think it’s necessary because without it an expressional type of film wouldn’t exist, but I don’t think filmmaking is dependent on absolute film. There were films before absolute film and films after, but I do think it helped show a more creative side to cinema. It helped aid in making history in cinema, and provided a different outlook to certain film features. Without absolute film, so new film techniques might not have been discovered till way later, so I think ultimately it helped grow the cinema field and knowledge.

Until the 19th century most artwork was created in a two or three-dimensional media. In England, William Fox discovered a technique that allowed camera images to be captured on paper. This medium has evolved since Fox’s discovery in 1839 to a serious and viable form of art today. Photography allows the artist to capture what he sees. The image produced is reality to the artists eye, it can only be manipulated with light and angles.

I recently took a photography class at my high school. I enjoyed taking photos with my phone and camera. However, I have grown a love for film photos. Initially, I was

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

This essay will investigate the work of contemporary photographer Tim Walker, and historical photographer Ansel Adams. This essay will examine the many changes of how photography has evolved through the decades from the photographer’s style, use of equipment, techniques and what photography is used for. These changes will be seen by looking at the contemporary photographer and comparing them to the historical photographer.

One reason the camera was the greatest invention was because it helps people keep a hold and learn from the past. When people take photos, they can retain them from generation to generation making sure the memories

It is considered that photography only became widely available to the public when the Kodak Eastman Company introduced the box shaped Brownie Camera in 1900. (Baker, n.p.) Its features became more refined since its original placing on the market; one of the reasons why it has become considered the birth of public photography is because of the processing. Using a similar image capture system, the brownie exposed the light to a 120mm roll of film, which could be wound round, meaning six photographs could be taken before the slides needed removing. The first Brownie used a six-exposure cartridge that Kodak processed for the photographer. (Kodak.com, n.d.) Realistically, the armature photographers did not need to understand darkroom processes,

Photography is a scientific art of creating images by capturing light on a light sensitive material. Mist and fog converts the world into a natural monochrome with a soft stillness to it. Our eyes might not see in black and white but the human brain knows to appreciate the art that a monochrome picture is. Black and white cameras were existed since the 1930s and for an average user it might just seem like an old technology that has been replaced with the new cool go pros and mirror less cameras but for photographers and art lovers it’s still an asset. Black and white does not necessarily mean removal of color, it requires its own way of seeing. Film photography allows one to have

Analog recording does have benefits over digital recording. One was mentioned in the previous paragraph. Analog recordings have a more natural sound. Nothing is taken out of the original recording; it is all there on the record in one natural flow. Another positive of the analog recording is that it is played on a turntable. With the turntable a person can choose among various components that will affect the overall sound. On a CD player a person can not switch the laser to get better sound, but on a turntable a person can upgrade the cartridge. The cartridge holds the needle which tracks the grooves in the record (Day 92). The better the cartridge the better the sound quality. Also, for

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

The cinematographic camera industry emerged in fact more than 100 years ago, it was only until recently that significant digital changes took place, apart from minimal technological improvements. Before the invention of digital cameras the main medium for shooting a movie was on celluloid film in which the quality of the image was very high from the beginning. However these cameras had some inconveniences. The cinematographer would have to set the lighting and frame to the directors vision and make sure that it was right. He could not see immediately if the scene was shot as desired and this caused the workflow to be very complex and time consuming which most producers would see limited. The developing, processing, transferring, editing and conforming the film normally took a day and the director along with the cinematographer would sit
