Term 2
Introduction To Digital Technology 2
Which genre require more photo retouching??
Creative and Artistic Genres which cover Commercial, Product, Advertisement, Celebrity and Band Portraiture, Fashion, Studio and Catalogue.
Why do you think this is??
Cause Creative and Artistic imagery tends to have a lot more leeway to do what you want with over other types of photography. For photography like Celebrity and Band and Studio ext.images sometimes require photoshopping to enhance the images for promotion. Creative Genres also tend to allow an element of fantasy and as so are more liberal in terms of photographic ethics, allowing for significant retouching and blending of images.
Photographer that fits into an Editorial Genre??
Bernd & Hilla Becher
Which Editorial Genre do they fit into?
Architecture/Documentary
What approach do they take to their style of photography?
A lot of the Bechers Photography was shot in black and white and depicted industrial buildings, towers, factories, and wind towers as a documentation of a disappearing age in buildings. Their photos were generally shot raw against a grey pale sky, in a carefully balanced light to avoid strong shadows, and their images were generally shot with the subject being central to the image.
Photographer that fits into a Creative Genre??
David LaChapelle
Which Creative Genre do they fit into?
Studio/Catalogue/Celebrity Portraiture/Advertisement/Commercial/Nude/Fine Art.
What approach do they take to their style of Photography?
LaChapelle owns his own studio and as such a lot of his photographs are and were taken in a studio format. His photography is known for being out there and in your face with lights and lots of bright colour. He takes more formal images over raw. He is quoted as saying he doesn't want to reinvent the person in the image he wants to take the iconic image that they show in 20yrs to come that describes who they were and the person they've become.
Photographer that fits into a Creative Fine Art Genre??
Annie Leibovitz
Could this Photographer fit into any editorial Genres as well?
Yes: Fashion/Celebrity/Nature
Where will your photography this term fit on these graphs??
At this point I'm still trying to figure out where my photography will be heading this term, BUT I'm guessing from my interests outside of photography and photography I've already done that it might head more in the direction of Editorial, Landscape or Nature Photography as it's the genre of photography I usually tend to lean towards when taking images, BUT I have also been interested in possibly trying People Photography in a more natural outdoor scene or possibly even Church Architecture as I've been bought up around around Architecture as my dads an Architect, and I was raised in the church and still am a Christian, and have always had an interest in taking images of churches or even possibly creating a story around them with the people as well.
