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. Initially the medium of photography was used to document the environment. After a steady progression, pictorial photography as a movement

Photography matters in society because people form emotional attachments to their pictures. “When you ask people what possessions they would rescue from their burning house, one of the most frequent answers is the photograph album or a computer with their digital images. When in panic mode it’s interesting that we would probably grab photos rather than valuable jewelry” (Digital Photography School). This quotation explains that people form emotional attachments to their photos because they depicted

Indeed challenging, rephotography has grown in practice and some have become iconic. For some time, Mark Klett and colleagues have produced the most comprehensive examples of the changing land and open spaces in the American West (Klett, Manchester, Verburg, Busham, & Dingus, 1984; Ware, 2011). In the mid-1970s, Klett and his team rephotographed 19th century photographs originally taken by Timothy O’Sullivan, William Henry Jackson, and others commissioned by the U.S. government led surveys of the

Imagine a world without photography: no news photographs, no advertising photographs, no family pictures, no endless number of magazines with photographs. How would our knowledge and understanding of the world would have been different? What about the culture? Photographs have always been an important part of our lives it affects our lives such that we see what photograph ‘shows’ but we don’t see the photograph as a ‘thing’ and still we cannot think about our lives without photographic existence

Photography and film are becoming more popular every day with people trying to one up each other and also trying to figure out new and inventive ways to use the camera. In Paul Strand’s essay Photography the New God, he wanted to make his point that photography was assessable to anyone and everyone and that man does all the work not the machine.

Photography is a very effective way to stimulate the brain and can help people divert their minds through positive images and experiences. Photography is an accessible tool for a person to communicate, frustrations, views, share their stories, and happiness. Within my community, there are very little resources for individuals who have been diagnosed with a mental illness to spend their time efficiently or participate in activities that can help them cope. After researching topics and resources, I

others in Italy, Germany and the United States were at the vanguard of discussions regarding photography as a legitimate art form, promoting spaces which would included exhibitions of photography as well as painting. At the beginning of 1862, an article published in the Photographic Journal, by an unknown author, summed up the discussions over photography as art, stating: "the question is not whether photography is fine art per se - neither painting nor sculpture can make that claim - but whether it

memories, and creative references. My children became my photography models as well. On our outings I would take pictures of them and the scenery. Snapshots of their childhood and our adventures mean more to me than most anything. Capturing them laughing and happy made me feel amazing and it was magical laughter that showed up in the photo. My camera has let me be an observer in the tapestry of life and helped develop my art of living. Photography gave me my childlike faith and passion back. Immersing

On March 26, 2014 I visited a one artist photography exhibition held in the Thomas F. Riley terminal at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California.

Most of the photos were printed on canvas and the others did not mention the process that was used. Photographer Kevin Warn is a Wedding and Life Portraiture photographer
