art photography

Applications:

The word art for me is a set of personal  feelings, emotions and thoughts.
Art includes many different way how to externalize what you feel, can be music,
painting, acting, making a sculpture and many others.
Art can also change very easly and  in any moment, because all the external factors may effect
our perceptions and then our art can be demostrated in a specific way.
The first impression i had  looking at some Esteban Pastorino Diaz pictures was, that those
pictures were made in a wrong way, of course is my lack of experience and familiarity with
this kind of pictures that brought me to this opinion.







Personally i think that Esteban Pastorino Diaz in his pictures is trying to focus on specific building or open space, leaving the rest out of focus probably because anyone else can imagine what is around.
I also think, looking at some pictures, that looks like it's all fake, like miniature or a computer manipulation. That's the beauty of art, in this case the picture is the same but anyone can see different things, have different feeling or opinion.

Alejandro Chaskielberg is another argentinian, award winning art photographer. 
Many of his pictures have water in them,(Parana river), people and natural light.
I think he is trying to emphasize about the relation between people and nature, very close to documentary pictures, and strong colours giving a feeling of fiction.
In his pictures also the perception af space and natural light is changed  and the appearance is very peaceful and calm.







Context:


Art photography can be found most of the times in art gallery, lately art photography is also used for pubblicity.
Personally an art gallery is a "empty" and "cold" place where the pictures and all the others forms of art can express themselfs without any distraction for the people.
The lights around are very important, because the view is one of the most important aspect of a person who goes to a art gallery.
Personally i don't see a photo within a frame, because it comes from a camera, but a paint must be within a frame, because the frame complete it, and is way more creative.

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

Application:


Fashion photography is a mix of colours, models and pictures manipulating,which would influence people to buy clothes and accessory.
The strong presence of manipulations is influencing  the people's mind about perception of beauty, of course all this makes all "normal" people looking ugly.
In fact for the italians the apparence is very important, and we spend much of our time to look at ourselfs in the mirror, because we "must look fashion".
It's very hard for normal people to escape from the famous brands, the fashion designers producers invest a lot of money on advertising.
I think, the fashion photography, lost all the style that was the main part in the past, like black and white pictures that capture all the elegant aspect of fashion photography.









Context:


Everywhere we go we can find fashion photography.
There are specific magazines like vogue and many others, web site, blogs, news papers, billboards, commercial on tv, so we all are "bombed" with pictures of skinny models, good looking people, and brands.
recently, famous movies, have promoted major fashion brands.













 Technic:


Fashion photography, is all about pictures, commercials, and photo manipulation. Obviously the technic of manipulation is the main caracteristic lately, because of technology, computers and specific program like photoshop.
In the past only the make up was able to make significant manipulation on the models and of course everything appeared more real.

portraiture

Application:
A portrait is a picture of  a person, usually is about a face but also a whole body.

Back then only important people could afford to contact  artists and get a portrait,that was used, like we use the camera today.
With portraits they could show to anyone how powerful they were, and with the addition of some detailes like thrones,crowns and gold jewelry their image of prestige grew.


 

Context:
We can find portraits today in many museums,art gallery,rich people houses and castles.
Portraits are also used for identification,so in passport or drive license and lately portraits are used for advertising.

photojournalism

Application:
Photojournalism is a form of journalism that shows through images some significant event.With all this pictures we had the perception of the truth considering the place where the pictures were taken.

Context:
The second world war was an opportunity for photojournalist to report many detailes about this event and Tony Vaccaro is been an important photojournalist.



This below is the camera argus c3 that Tony Vaccaro was using during the second world war.

Technics:
In those time  they had some technic for picture manipulating :


We can remember important manipulated pictures like the one with Stalin and Yezhov:



                      


Tony Vaccaro using a soldier helmet was able to developed the pictures.

Decisive moment:
The decisive moment in photography is  a  fraction of second where all seem to be in the right place. it requires a lot of patience and skills.
