TREATMENT PHOTOGRAPHY;




1. Type of production and brief details on Subject/Concept:

The title I have chosen for my images in 'In Solitude.' By taking pictures of an object on its own, i am expressing the idea of lonliness. My objects will be a women/ girl in her lonely place, for example sitting underneath a tree on her own, or picking a certain object that is always on its own.
2. Facilities: What facilities do you need for this project list all including software and hardware for the whole project

i will need a women/girl, a camera, a tripod and lighting for the perfect picture in solitude.

3. Finance: If you produced this project outside of the college you need to show how much would it cost to hire the equipment that you intend to use.

camera: prices starting at £100
tripod: starting at £10
lighting: starting from £50


4. Contributors: Who do you need to help this for you project? This includes talent and crew.

I will need a women/ girl to be my model for the photoshoot. This will be easier instead of an object as it will convey solitude more accuratly.

5. Codes of practice and regulation: What regulations to you need to be aware of. Think about college policy as well as regulatory bodies that you looked at in assignment 2, Worksheet 1.6 Regulation and Safety notes

I will make sure that i have the model's permission to take photo's. Also i will make sure i have permission for the place i wil be taking the pictures in, if it is not at my own home or public place. I will make sure that the camera will only be taking pictures on a tripod, being on a safe and flat surface, making sure that it will not fall or break.

6. Presentation: How will you present the pictures? Will you include a soundtrack, think about copy write issues etc.

I will present the pictures on a powerpoint, showing the differences and similarities between them. i will have no soundtrack as i will be speaking and it will be hard when there is  music in the background.

ART PHOTOGRAPHY;

APPLICATION; Art Photography relates to photographs that are created in harmony with the creative eye of the photographer as an artist. Fine art photography stands in contrast to photojournalism, which provides support for telling a specific story or the selling a product.Art photography can be interpreted as posed, edited or delibrate to give more of an effect in ones perspective.

CONTEXT; Art photgraphy is mainly shown in galleries and museums. It is not based on how professional an artist is, its the way they take a picture and the reason behind it. It is used for admiring  and appreciating. However, art phtotography can also be used in things like magazines to promote a product or place, for example a gallery.

TECHNIQUE; the images are to show different angles and perpectives in order to help people visulise a meaning to the photograph. (Upright an image from Esteban Pastorino Diaz. His idea of art is edited to create a collage print of pictures to show what a unique meaning of art..

FASHION Photography.


"I don’t think photography has anything remotely to do with the brain. It has to do with eye appeal."
                                                                                                                              Horst P. Horst.

Fashion Photography; is a genre of photography that consists of mainly displaying fashion garments such as clothes, shoes and anything to be involved with the fashion world. It is mainly used in advertising and magazines, such as Vogue. In modern day society, fashion has become more involved with the presence of  'exotic' surroundings and accsessories including hair and make-up to enhance a perspective of the advertised fashion.

Context: The easiest and quickest way to get fashion shown is through magazines. The majority in modern day have their own fashion ideas to portray in their magazines, Vogue being one of the well known who express this. However, fashion photography can also be expressed using billboards and other ways to achieve an advertisement.

Techniques:  Most Photographs for fashion are deliberate poses and backgrounds to deliver the type of garments situated, for example, one wearing a wolly jumper, would not be suittable to have a sunny background. Also, mainly all photographs produced are edited and altered to create the perfect, beneficial  picture.

Mario Testino: born 30th October, 1954, is a well known  Peruvian fashion photographer, who has shot for Vogue, Gucci and Vanity Fair. Testino's work has been exhibited in many galleries around the world, most shown at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
               (Right Photgraph is an example of his work)

Portraiture

Portraiture - An Artists representation of a person whether it shows them to be good or bad.


Context: Portraits are usually used for people like the Queen or Pope, or anyone who was rich enough to have one. This helps them to look powerful and important in that time.  However, portraits can be used for anyone else to show a person in their natural area. for example, we use them to prove our identity on I.D cards. also, for family portraits, as it captures a moment in a families life which is important to them. For example, Diane Arbus uses this technique in her work such as her photographs of the matthaei family.

Diana Arbus, born March 14th 1923. She was an american photographer. After committing suicide in 1971, a year later she was the first to have photographs displayed at the Venice Beinnale and  Millions of people viewed her work in 1972-1979.

         "Deviant and marginal people"




 Walker Evans, born 3rd november 1903, also an american photographer was best known for his work for the farm security administration. his work has been the subject of retrospectives at such institutions as The Metropolitan Museum or George Eastman House.


     "literate, authoritative, transcendent"




Techniques: The main technique used today, is one in which the photographer takes an unexpected picture instead of a posed or false imterpretation of the object or person for example,. the picture of picasso.

Photo-journalism

Context; Photo-journalism (a form of journalism) is a way in which a story is made from an image. The truth behind photojournalim is not what people are led to believe or think as photographs nowadays are edited and altered to create a better image.


Photo-journalism to me, means a way in which things are not acted out and planned out, its a way in which things come natually when you wait for the moment in which changes a whole image and being in the right place at the right time.


For example, Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 1908), was a very well    known French photographer, who considered himself as the godfather of photojournalism. He influenced and inspired many other photographers to be Photojournalists.

''The truth is the best picture, the best propganda''.
ROBERT CAPA (war photographer)
War photograghy;   is when a photographer caputes a real life image of his surroundings and explains the story in one shot.


Robert Capa (left) is one of the main war photographers. He mainly covered the Spanish Civil War, Japanese War and World War 2 .


Another example of a war photographer is Tony Vaccaro. He was a soilder in world war 2 1944-1945. However, his photographs were different from  robert Capa's as he thought that war was romatic, whereas, Vaccaro thought war as a disgraceful disadvantage of being human.
