Feedback On Questionaires
It was found that a majority of people that answered my questionaire understood the meaning of the pictures by both looking at the images and reading the discriptions. Based on this only two people didnt understand the pictures until they read the fact files and ideas behind them. There were comments that stated that two of the pictures looked proffesional and believable, but the one that werent particularly proffesional looking could have had more effort and time spent on the editing process. Everyone agreed in this questionaire that the subject of this project was a good choice to follow and that images helped portray what was actually happening around us at this very second. All in all good reviews.

In this post i have included three images based on the topic given to me, the topic was future postcards. This is to show the possible outcome of our planet using the local area and photo manipulation.I decided to stick with the idea of global warming but more specificaly the possible effect it could have on earth.
in the first picture i have tried to show that the humidity could rise and due to that exotic plantlife thrives in urban areas.
the second picture is represent the heat all time highs and that most life is dead and/or baron. the floor is replaced sand and most plantlife ceases to live or is dying.
the final picture is to show a new ice age where the floor is covered in ice and snow caps similar to those of both north and south pole.

in solitude assignment
the traditional meaning of solitude is loneliness, in this picture it shown to be a very lonely picture but also show hows solitude can be a positive tool as it looks like he is concerntrating on something other than his sorroundings.
stereotypes can help to show solitude by sghowing emotional state this picture of the stereotype "emo" shows this.
i choose to show solitude in a particular way in this poicture showing a couple and a random stranger looking over the thames showing comfortability between people in public.
this is to show the solitude of emotion showing both the hiddene emotion of the crying mixed with the everyday happiness.

art photography
application
most art photography would be taken in a way that it seemed posed or planned for example if the artist were to take a picture of a building that was modern from a low angle whilst showing the whole building itself, like the photo in Brighton university and then edited to be black and white the picture itself feels old but the building contradicts the actual image by looking new or contemporary, making the person looking at the image think about the meaning. some pictures are taken not intentionally to be anything but a picture and then is edited to make it seem like art, like the pictures in the 3rd gallery we went to with the self portraits of the babies and families taking ordinary self portraits and editing the bodies or faces to make them look better than they were. my idea of conceptual photography is bringing an idea and taking it on a photograph to show different meanings or to show the exact image, but in a purely abstract view, i have seen examples of this style in self portrait photos for example the Dali photo of the cats, water and painting all captured in the air with himself in the picture shows no exact meaning to his life but in an abstract way it makes it feel like a dream. the word art to me means to show expressions though images, the reason i say this as all artists have a unique style in which they create the final image giving that image life and personality.
context
art photography is generally found being shown in galleries from various artist both professional and amature status. they are there for people to admire and think about the perspectives of the artists. some art photography might be found in magazines to help advertise the certain product on that page. The way the photo/art is displayed gives many different effects to the image itself for example if an image was in a frame in a room that realtes to the image it makes it more powerful compared to a picture that is just pineed to a blank wall or canvas.
technique
the final images are used to show different angles and perspectives so that when the consumer views the image they're inclined to think of other meanings into the picture itself, they do this by looking at angles, colours, location, activities in area and various other techniques to get the most of the environment they are in. From what i saw on the trip the images were usualy printed on paper but different galleries put the image up differently like Brighton university pinnee thier images to the wall whilst the gallery with the self portraits had them in frames and also project
ions.

Fashion Photography
application
This type of photography uses influential methods to gain the consumers interest by focussing on a variety of things for example, looking at the models apeal, the colours used, textures, decade or time in which that styles was adapted and styles. i personally think that this particular genre of photography is shallow in the way it portrays the figure of beauty and how it gives the need to buy or be the person in the picture.
context
This type of photography can be found in alot of different meda types, for example a beauty product can be advertised on tv and poster/bilboards it is used in this to give the product itself a bigger impact for example if the model is using a new perfume and she goes out all glamorous and meets a new man this makes the consumer think its makes them glamorous, it is hugely used in magazines like vogue to help advertise their range of pruducts by using a biased sense of models when it come to female models they traditonally very skinny and attractive when the final picture is printed and with men generally tanned and showing their muscles and power over others.
technique
When fashion photography first started they would use the 10.8 camera this gave the highest amount of quality for the time period it was used but pictures had to be taken upside down as there wasnt a mirror to reflect the image to the right way up. The use of digital allows us now to see the picture straight after allowing us to make descisions there and then about if the picture is perfect. the use of image manipulation means that the image is no longer trustworthy as they usually make changes to the image using computer softwares and also the changes they make in
preparation using makeup.

Portraiture
Application:
Pictures taken to reflect factual or nan-factual qualities or information on either the subject or the style in which the photographer/artist has taken the image in. Usually the picture captures the full subject but some examples are only showing part of or many objects in the picture. There are some examples of portraiture are taken in a specific way so it portrays a fake or wrong idea for example pictures of Napolean were taken with him on a box or horse to make him taller than he is. These pictures also show the idea of power from the person in the picture like a king wearing a crown. some photographers use their power of photography to take the picture at the point they like and not at the point the subject wanted, pouncing when they least expect giving a more natural appearance.
Context:
Portraiture originally were only made or taken for the people who could afford them showing their key features, for example the picture of the pope sitting on the throne looking very stern, this helped show athourity and power. Now portraiture can be found in various form for example celbrities having pictures taken to show a side that we wouldn't necessarily see or to emphase a well known feature. We use I.D. photos as an everyday day necessity to go to work and on our passports. Family portraits are found in homes these capture moments in time and have a more sentermentle value. Photographers work on this can be found in published books by them selves and also shown in gallaries.
Techniques:
photographers to this modern day, in this genre the photographer waits on the subject bieng as natural and un-posturised and then punces on that moment getting the picture of the right representation of that person, for example the picture of Picasso he posed several times until he stopped and went blank in the face and at that point the picture was taken. It is usually taken in the portariat paper layout 99 percent of the time but there are examples of the picture bieng taken in landscape. Generally the picture is taken to fit as much of the subject in but there a several pictures that ignore that guideline and ony take pictures of the shoulders up.
the picture of the lady in the old chic fasion was actually taken in 1990's by a photographer named Cindy Sherman who wanted to make it look like she was from another era. The pictures of the pope are from different artist but showing two different perspectives the one on the left shows the pope naturally showing his wealth and power whilst the one the right shows a different more demonic side to this person. The picture of the Girl was taken by Diane Arbus was taken in the way she waited for the subject to be relaxed and fully natural so that it gives a different but more natural perspective on the person that we wouldn't necesseraly have seen before.

photo-journalism
ApplicationPhoto-journalism is used to capture a moment in time for example an explosion during the world wars and then used for publication. The idea of truth in photo-journalism originally was a trustworthy theory but as technology has evolved we have found it easier in which to edit or manipulate the final image, therefore making the image a fake or untrustworthy product.
The time period in which this was first engineered and used was during the first world war but was discovered in the 1930's by Henri Cartier Bresson. The photos taken using this type of photography can and sometime will be used to represent the whole event and can change the views of the general public for example the execution picture in vietnam completely changed the minds of the American people in which it ended the vietnamese war.
Context
the pictures taken for this particular genre of photgraphy are usually used for publishing in magazine, papers, internet and posters. television is also used as a medium for the photo-journalist world for example some news companies may ask the viewers if they have any pictures of a certain event and send them in, in which we the viewers become the photo-jounalist.
Technology;
this has greatly improved since this method began with photography evolving to the use of digital cameras but when desicive moment was discovered the leica camera was a pinacle point in which it was the first instant capture camera that was fully portable this greatly improved the chances of capturing images at that exact point than previous technology at that time. Potability greatly changed the photographic world as it made events not normally accesable for photography accessable as they didt take alot of time to take a picture or to set up it was literally just a click of the button and the picture was taken.
