Plenitude of Potrait

"It is required of and should be the aim of the artist photographer to
produce in the likeness the best possible character and finest
expression of which that face and figure could ever have been

capable. But in the result there is to be no departure from truth in the
delineation and representation of beauty, and expression and
character."


by Albert Sands Southworth, 1871

From that moment onwards, our loathsome society rushed,
like Narcissus, to contemplate its trivial image on a
metallic plate. A form of lunacy, an extraordinary
fanaticism took hold of these new sun-worshippers.


Charles Baudelaire, 1859

Introducing

photography has been involved with portraiture, continuing in a new medium the impulse to represent human
form that goes back to the dawn of art
provided the basis for flourishing commercial enterprises that satisfied s for the public and private likenesses,
while individuals who wished to express themselves personally through portraiture, were able to do so using the
calotype and collodion processes.
from the Renaissance on, portraits have been most esteemed when they portrayed not only the sitter's physical
appearance but inner character as well.

History

Toward the end of the 18th century, the concept that pose, gesture, and expression should reveal the
inner person became codified in a number of treatises that exhorted the portraitist to rise above
merely mechanical graphic representation of the human features.
Before photography was invented, however, artists already had devised methods to respond to the
demand for portraits from a new clientele emerging as a result of the rise of bourgeois societies in
England, France, Holland, and America from the 17th century on.

Landscape

Scenery is the subject of a landscape image.
Usually people or animals are not shown in a landscape photograph. Similarly, city skylines and oceans
are generally not shown. To a purist these would be called cityscape and seascape respectively. Landscape

photographs are supposed to be just that landscapes.

There are three major styles of landscape photography :

1.Representational (also known as straight descriptive style)
2. Impressionistic
3. Abstract




10

1.Representational

Representational landscapes are the most natural and realistic out of all the styles of landscape photography. They
approach landscape photography with a what you see is what you get mentality. No props or artificial components are

added. However special attention is paid to the framing, lighting and composition of the image

11

2.Impressionistic

An impressionistic landscape carries with it a vague or elusive sense of reality. These photographs will make
the landscape seem more unreal. The viewer is giving the impression of a landscape rather than the true
representation of one.

12

3.Abstract

Abstract landscape photographs use components of the scenery as graphic components. With abstract
landscape photography design is more important than a realistic representation of what is seen. The
photographer may place emphasis on something which seems counterintuitive to place emphasis on.
They may make use of silhouettes or other lighting techniques to highlight shape, They may focus in on

an area within the landscape itself.

Architecture

Architectural photography is a genre of photography that focuses on capturing
photographs of buildings or structures. Hence, it also involves photographing the

interiors and exteriors of buildings, bridges, structures, and cityscapes

Architecture is much more than just creating a building. It's an art form. It is a way to
express feeling and emotion, as well as physical functionality and efficiency in a

structure. The most beautifully designed buildings truly blur the line between building
and art work.

The most beautifully designed buildings truly blur the line between
building and art work. Like Architecture, photography is more than just

taking a picture. It aims to capture the interaction between light and
the physical form to convey a message

Objects 3.

Objects

In object photography, everything revolves around photographing three-dimensional objects and
arrangements. The most common type of object photography is the so-called table top photography, in which
smaller objects are draped on a table or shelf. Since taking pictures of objects often takes place in a studio or in a
similarly neutral environment, the quality of the photos depends above all on the lighting, exposure and focus.
can take good object photos with every camera and the right know-how. A digital camera, which preferably has a

macro function, is of course recommended for object photography in order to be able to capture close-ups and
very small objects with sufficient sharpness.

Events

Event photography is a genre of photography that records the attendees, events, setting, and key moments of any
occasion or event.

The practise of taking expert-level pictures at a range of significant events, from area of people like weddings or birthday
parties to sizable public events like corporate events, galas, award shows, and music festivals, is known as event

photography. Wedding photography is frequently considered to be a distinct genre unto itself, however a wedding
photographer's abilities can be used for other kinds of event photography. Typically, the aim of any event shot is to gather

a variety of posed and unposed images of both subjects and surroundings.

History Photography
from 1839 until 1890

19

The word of Photography is derived from the Greek photos (“light”) and graphein (“to draw”).
It was first used in the 1800s. Photography is the method to record the image of an object
through the action of light or a light-sensitive material.
Photography required equipment, techniques, and also processes. The most widely used
photographic process is the black-and-white negative–positive

20

Introducing

Photography has come a long way in its relatively short history. In almost 200 years, the
camera developed from a plain box that took blurry photos to the high-tech mini computers

found in today's DSLRs and smartphones.

The First Permanent Images
Photography, as we know it today, began in the late 1830s in France. Joseph
Nicéphore Niépce used a portable camera obscura to expose a pewter plate coated
with bitumen to light. This is the first recorded image that did not fade quickly.

Straight Image

22

Introducing

Straight photography refers to a photograph that is not
manipulated while depicting a scene or subject in sharp focus

and detail.

It refers to a photo shoot that represents a scene or subject in sharp focus and detail, in
accordance with the qualities that distinguish photography from other visual media,
particularly painting. Simple and clean with a sharp detail. Since the setting up the
image, adjusting the time, angles, managing shadows will in a way manipulate how

the viewers perceive our photograph.

23

History

From 1910 to the early 1930s, the dominant style was East Coast Pictorialism in which objects were shot
with haze and gauze to purposely blur the image for a soft focus effect. The aim was to mimic

Impressionist paintings. With the emerging West Coast Movement, photography no longer imitated
painting and developed as a separate art form. The new movement spread in the 1950s as the West Coast
artists championed the use of natural environmental forms and clarity of detail—very novel concepts at

the time.

Photo Manipulation

25

Introducing
Photo manipulation is the process of transforming or altering a photograph using a variety of tools and techniques in

order to achieve specific goals.

Depending on how they are used to deceive the audience, some photo manipulations are regarded as artistic skill while

others are viewed as unethical acts.

For instance, someone may steal another person's product and improve upon it or make fun of it.

Its depends on people who make photo manipulation, some photo manipulations are regarded as an art form since they

result in the development of distinctive photographs . History

During the 19th century, the earliest photographs was captured on glass and tin plates.In the early 19th
century, photography and the technology that made it possible were rather crude and cumbersome.
Although the tools and technology improved over time, digital photography did not emerge until the
latter half of the 20th century.
Digital photography was previously criticized by photographers due to its poor quality and was once
thought by some to be a ra the fact that technological advancements that considerably enhanced digital
image quality while reducing the size and weight of cameras and equipment resulted in significant
advancements in the early 21st century.dical new technique.

Type of Photo Manipulation

Historical Photo Manipulation: Here, the choice is to make the image
better or more accurate
Predictive Photo Manipulation: Here, various photos are put together to
create futuristic visualization on how things could be years down the
lane.

Advantage of Photo Manipulation

The service may assist the subject feel better about themselves, get encouraging opinions, comments, or
recommendations, which will increase their confidence and make them feel good about themselves.
It could also save models the cost of doing makeup or surgeries so that they look beautiful during photo shoots.
Additionally, businesses use the images to enhance their marketing plans and campaigns and to provide intense
instruction to people who want to produce stunning illustrations for their personal or professional usage.

How it works ?

The image you see above is a composition of 4 different images – The Skies,
The Landscapes, The Cup, and The Stream. Brush, Burn, and Blur tools are
used to help blend the pictures. The mountains are retouched to add
different shades of green. Shadow and Reflection are added to the cup and
brush tools are used to darken the bottom third of the picture.
For final touches, the skies and water are retouched and the whole image is
then treated with color correction.
