Art Photography

Application

The word "art" is defined as "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others."Other contemporary art photographers include Edwyrd Byrtynsky, David Graham and Sarah Pickering.

Conceptual Photography - Photography that turns a concept or idea into a photograph. Even though what is depicted in the photographs are real objects, the subject is strictly abstract.

The photographers included in some of the museums that we visited on Wednesday included some odd images of people at a house in the day but was actually night time on the bottom of the image. Another set of images were from the point of view of one of the photographers younger sisters. This form of photography is effective as it conveys different qualities for every picture. Some images fit under other forms of photography. A photographer took pictures of landscapes with different items covering his/her camera to create unusual effects.

Context

This form of art is traditionally used in galleries to display the work of talented photographers and their work. These works of photography are used mainly for this purpose. This has a major impact on art photography as well because these images have specific purposes and points and speak a lot about the photographers' work and personality. The surroundings of the art also reflects character and their work.

Technique

The pictures are printed on what appear to be ordinary sheets of paper, others are laminated. The photos associate themselves with other people as what's being taken is real life, even though some parts may be more abstract than others. This type of photography relys on carefully created backgrounds and features of people, however some images are taken of what appear to be people who are completely unchanged. Studios are used but not all the time; some pictures are taken in the country which couldn't be done with a set. Pictures from the Brighton picturing the show "The High Tide" show this type of photography.
